I'm from London (the English one). I'm coming to the end of my gap year: I've got history at Exeter university lined up this September, and I can't wait, but I'm getting some more travelling in first! I'm a chill person, I'll try new things and am completely down with both easy going or crazy nights.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friend and I have an epic trip planned, starting in Mexico and travelling up America's west coast all the way to Canada. We've got seven weeks to see as much as we can of this part of the world, so I figure it's our best bet to start with the people who live there. I'm in it to see America's culture through Americans instead of the TV.

Music, Movies, and Books

They change regularly, but I can give you todays pick:
All of the Harry Potter books are close to my heart, but the book I'm currently reading is usually my favourite book (A Suitable Boy right now).
I'm a fan of Florence and the Machine, Imagine Dragons, Arctic Monkeys, Queen, Sia, Eminem, Panic! At the Disco...you might be seeing a genre here...but Hotel California is my all time fave. When I want to mix it up a bit I always have my broadway sound tracks of Les Miserables, or Hamilton.
I'm more into TV than films, and Doctor Who is my thing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent this winter skiing and then (when money got tight) ski instructing in Austria! Now I'm kind of obsessed with doing more seasons and learning everything there is to know about snowsports.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always game for a deep philosophical or political discussion, whatever floats your boat, and if you have any burning questions about London, England or the UK, I'm happy to look up the answer online.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A very British accent
Decent cooking skills and a not very secret family recipe for Indian curry
Lasagne
Stories I'm hoping we'll have picked up by the time we trail up the West Coast
