Holly | 22 | Edinburgh, Scotland

Currently on a three month trip travelling from UAE - New Zealand - Australia - Indonesia - Malaysia before returning home to start full time job as PE teacher (broke ass student in a lot of debt yet here we are travelling).

Sports fanatic, played basketball since 10 years old as well as fan of nearly every sport.

Up for a good laugh and open to suggestions of places to visit / eat / drink etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My broke ass is in a lot of debt from uni fees but couldn’t say no to this opportunity to travel the places I’m lucky enough to be going to and have been to. So any help really would be magical, plus I love seeing the ‘real’ place instead of all the touristy cliches you get all the time.

Music, Movies, and Books

Fan of all music, varied taste that’ll listen to anything. Some favourites though are: kings of Leon, Foo Fighters, Fleetwood Mac, Meatloaf, Milky Chance, Twin Atlantic. The list is endless.

I could watch any movie pretty much, like a lot of action / crime movies and can never go wrong with a rom com. However the favourites have to be a good horror that’ll make you jump out the chair.

Teach, Learn, Share

Currently about to Graduate from The University of Edinburgh with a BEd in Physical Education with honours. From that using it to get a job in a high school teaching PE to children aged 12-18. Absolutely love my job and more than happy to share stories and my love if you ask.

Basketball coach to young children anywhere aged from 6-16. Had the pleasure to attend some world class seminars taken by coaches round the world and assisted along side others in Scotland national programs.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some terrible humour that I think is funny, for you it can be debatable. If you like heavy Scottish accents then I’ll be your best pal. I can teach you some of the BEST slang in the world, nothing beats a good Scot and their dialect I promise you.

I’ll beat you 1 on 1 too if you’re game for that
