Hi there! I'm Jamie, I'm originally from Aberdeen, Scotland but I've lived all over the place including Paris, Cambridge, Canterbury, London, and even a few years in South East Asia (Brunei, to be specific).

I'm 22 years old and I graduated from university last year. While I'm a tutor in English, history and economics by day, my passion is comedy and writing. I've performed sketches and stand-up all over the UK and I'm usually working on one project or another. I currently live in London and spend a lot of time thinking about coffee.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm completely new to Couchsurfing but I'm intrigued by the concept. I have travelled plenty and always found that having an inside eye on the city you're visiting can make all the difference.

From friends who have used it, I have heard Couchsurfing is a great way to travel and make friends, so I'm eager to give it a go!

Interests

I love reading, watching films, going to the theatre, writing and performing, going for runs, swimming, visiting art galleries, cooking, dancing and sticking postcards on my wall.
