About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel to as many places as possible and work out what I want to do with my life

ABOUT ME

I'm studying at the University of Edinburgh for four years. I like meeting new people, I'm always meeting up with friends, usually in the pub, to chat for hours about anything. I'm always texting people or messaging them on my phone when I'm with other people...I know it's annoying, it's a habit I'm trying to break!
My other addiction is the gym, I like keeping fit and in shape and I'm happier when I've had a good workout.
I don't like staying in one place for too long and always try to be on the move which is why I love travelling. I don't like spending too long on my own and when I'm with someone I'm not always too good at sitting in silence... so basically i'm always talking.

PHILOSOPHY

Be really positive, and if you're not feeling positive start again. Hug it out every day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only couchsurfed twice in France. It was really fun but I would like to make more of it in the future and have more time to spend with my hosts. I'm also hoping to make my couch available later this year, when I actually have a house.

Interests

I'm really into politics, especially AMerican Politics and was obsessed with the TV series the West Wing for a while. Rugby. I like history as well, I'm going to start studying history from next year.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done lots of travelling since I was 17. I travelled around Europe for 2 months a few years ago and have spent time in China and south East Asia. so many amazing experiences it's tough to put it all into one small box on the internet.
