I've just started a PhD in climate science/oceanography/geology, which essentially involves studying fossil algae from around Antarctica.. which is great! I'm based at Cardiff University in Wales, UK, but I'm originally from London, England.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I just think it's such a great way to travel because you actually get to meet local people and can get a better feel for the places you visit. I also love hosting people when I can because it's fun having a flux of interesting people to talk to! If I can't host you for whatever reason but you still want to hang out and meet locals feel free to get in touch anyway :)

兴趣

I'm passionate about the natural environment (hence the PhD), so I also love travel, as I'm sure everyone on here does, and being outdoors. Music is my other main passion.. I play many instruments not particularly well (currently trying to teach myself the trumpet) but I have played in bands and written songs etc for a long time. My other interests include food/cooking, anything of an artistic bent in general, and learning new things. I've also just discovered listening to Desert Island Discs (a BBC radio 4 program) as the best thing ever.
