Hi! I'm a 19 year old backpacker currently on my gap year between school and university. I'm travelling from my home city of Bath, England to Anchorage, Alaska, through Europe, South East Asia, Australia, New Zealand and America. I'm currently 7 months into my trip and nearing the end!
I'll be studying Computer Science at university next year!
I have tons of stories from my travels that I love to share.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have predominantly been staying in hostels for the last 7 months, but have found that there isn’t much of a backpacker scene here in the US. I'm hoping couch surfing will provide a great way for me to find great people to meet and places to stay on my road to Alaska
