About Me

Hi there!

We’re world explorers at heart and love meeting fellow travelers from all walks of life. I’m based in London and can sometimes offer a couch when I’m around. My flat is a warm, open-minded space and proudly LGBT+ friendly 🏳️‍🌈.

Looking forward to sharing stories, laughs, and maybe a good cup of tea!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe travel is about people, not just places. Hotels and tourist spots are fine, but nothing compares to the connections made through shared experiences and local perspectives.

I love the idea of giving back to the travel community—hosting when I can, and being hosted when I’m on the road. Couchsurfing makes the world feel a little smaller, warmer, and more human.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being a storyteller around the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
Happy to teach you a few travel hacks, some cooking basics, or help with multi languages. If you’re curious about the London area, I can also give tips for non-touristy spots.

Learn:
I’m always up for learning about your culture, favourite local dish, music, or even just how your average day looks where you’re from. I’m especially interested in languages and lifestyle.

Share:
I’d love to share my home when possible, exchange travel stories, cook a simple meal together, or just hang out over tea or a walk around the city.
