About Me

I am an adventurous person who loves to explore and experience nature, where ever it can be found

I enjoy hearing peoples stories and understanding how locals really live when I travel, so I try to hitchhike or get chatting with locals when I get the chance

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is a mixture of local knowledge, making new friends and financial reasons.

Travelling around South America solo a few summers back really taught me how many of the best things to do and see will not be online but instead in the heads of the locals you will meet along the way. I also had a little bit too much fun last summer and that mixed with my university costs has put some financial strain on my plans, hence I am trying to camp where possible and rely on local generosity where I am unable.

I have meet many amazing people on my travels, of which spending time with them and what we did together helped create some unforgettable moments. Hopefully couchsurfing will also allow for more of these moments to happen.
