I'm a copywriter & editor from the Forest of Dean, UK. Now, my home is where my heart is. In 2015, I gave up my job and flat in London and embarked on a cross-country US adventure. In 2016, I toured the UK in my tiny red car, travelled to Spain to learn Spanish and spent a few months back and forth across the Atlantic. Then I moved to Uruguay. In 2017, I established my business and worked like crazy to balance office life, gym and travel. Now I’m in Australia for the next part of my journey. I'm a history buff and crave culture wherever I go. A country girl born and bred, I love great views and spectacular scenery, but am just as at home exploring buzzing cities. I adore the gym, pizza, country music and British films.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m driving the Great Ocean Road on the last leg of my Australian adventure. I'm hoping to meet some amazing people, continue learning about this intriguing country and feast!
