Hi, I'm Hayley. I'm a student, I finished High School last year and have just spent a year on a student exchange in Spain and next year I'm going to study neuroscience in Uni. I love travelling and meeting new people and learning new things about different cultures! My dream is pretty much to see the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's a great way to meet new people and see new places. Also to see different countries from the perspective of a local, I think it's awesome that people are willing to open up their homes to strangers to help them learn and show them their country.

Interests

I love science, music, languages, movies, travelling. I'm a synchronised swimmer and love everything to do with water.
