ABOUT ME

I'm a student from London, looking to explore the world a little bit more and meet awesome people while doing it.

PHILOSOPHY

This is a pretty deep question and hard to answer in just this little box. I'm against all forms of oppression and discrimination - whether it's based on race, religion, class, gender, transgender status, sexuality, age, ability or body shape/image. I don't take life *too* seriously and like to be silly and joke around, but there's definitely a line and I do think that some subjects aren't to be joked about. I define as queer, am in a polyamorous relationship and am a massive feminist (complete with impressive armpit hair) and so would like to meet like-minded individuals. Basically, as long as you're not a bigot, we should get along just fine :)

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've finally joined CS after years of hearing friends talk about how great it is! Right now I'm not in a position to host anyone, sadly, but hopefully I will be soon.

Heading to Tokyo with a friend on the 15th July, so we're looking for hosts for a couple of days around then :)
