About Me

I am an exchange student at the University of Florida; however, I grew up in the UK and study at the University of Nottingham. I study International Business, but wish to work within vintage fashion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, meet new people and find secret places that usually go undiscovered by tourists. I used to do house exchanges with my family, which I think has a similar vibe, and it was absolutely unforgettable every time.

Interests

I like to try new things all the time but I enjoy swimming, climbing and dancing. I also love to write; I am currently a writer for my university magazine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I stayed on Turtle Island in Malaysia where there was nothing but a few huts and the turtle sanctuary. I got to watch how they run their conservation project, which included watching a turtle lay her eggs and baby turtles being released into the sea.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I hope to share my stories with hosts, as well as hear theirs. I love to give the people that host me in their homes a little present that has some reference to a time we have spent together. On top of all that, I bring my wonderfully British humor in tow.
