Hi and thanks for checking out my profile. I have joined Couchsurfing ahead of a 6 month career break; I am so excited to spend this time travelling southeast and east Asia, learning about different cultures and creating memories.

I am a relaxed and sociable person who loves an interesting conversation, to see the funny side of things, and to receive and share recommendations on anything: books, films, music, places to travel to!

I am curious about the world and love to try new things, especially food - so please introduce me to your favourite cuisines! I enjoy cooking and would be really happy to cook for you if you invite me into your home :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of staying with people who live wherever I'm visiting - who better to learn about these places from?

I want to step outside of the comfort of hotels/hostels and understand local perspectives. It is so generous of people to open their doors to travellers - I hope to repay that generosity by sharing stories, having fun, and hopefully creating some memories together!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My favourite day travelling was in Munnar in Kerala. Hiking through tea fields, swimming under waterfalls, boating on a lake, seeing lots of wildlife, and eating currry - perfect!
