Overview
About Me
Hi, I'm studying psychology and travelling the world at every opportunity. I love meeting people, and learning new languages.
I really enjoy being out in nature, hiking, swimming and horseriding.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love having the opportunity to meet people and make new connections, to share stories and cultures.
I don't feel like I've really experienced a place unless I've spent time with people who live there, used the public transport and wandered the streets.

Music, Movies, and Books
I read a lot of sci-fi: I like William Gibson, Harry Harrison, PKD, The Expanse series
I love visiting places I've read about it novels.
I also love cyberpunk and anything post-apocalyptic: Transmetropolitan, The Walking Dead, Dredd, Akira etc
I often go to gigs while travelling to hear both bands I like and ones I'm not familiar with.
I love saunas and cold water swimming
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
It's hard to choose one thing...I swam through a cave system in Tolantongo, Mexico to see fruit bats after bathing in marble pools hand-carved into the cliff face by the native Nahua.
I've also seen the Aurora borealis in Iceland and swum in bioluminescent plankton in a Panamanian lagoon beneath a star-studded sky.
I hiked a volcano in Costa Rica, climbed the Sierra Madre in Mexico to see the migrating monarchs and ate mangoes in the cloud forests of Cuba that were so ripe they melted like butter in my mouth.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm trying to learn the word thank you in as many languages as possible
