I have just moved to Vancouver, I'm originally from the UK. I'm doing some travelling in BC/Alberta throughout August with my friend Floss, and looking forward to meeting people through couchsurfing and seeing Canada's beautiful scenery!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Having lived in Amsterdam, I know how vastly different cities can be from a tourists' perspective compared to living there. So, I always try to meet people who know the local area, and would love any tips, recommendations, or just a friendly place to stay.

Interests

I love cooking and food, reading books, exploring new places, and hiking.

Music, Movies, and Books

God of Small Things, Arundhati Roy
Americanah/Half of a Yellow Sun, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking for six days through Torres del Paine, in Chilean Patagonia. Through scorching sun, gale force winds, a blizzard, torrential rain, and so much snow at the final peak we couldn't see the path and guessed our way up before the sunrise.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to cook with/for you if you'd like (everyone loves a full English breakfast, right?). And, of course, once I am back in the UK, my couch will always be on offer for fellow couch surfers!
