About Me

I am an easy going, chill person who is always down for a nice chat or to go out and have fun. I like a good adventure and I love travelling and seeing how beautiful the world is. My life mantra is to try to always live in the moment - I love the feeling when you are so happy in the moment where you are, there's nowhere else in the world you'd rather be.

A bit more about what I like… I ski race for my university and came 17th nationally last year (although that’s only possible because not many people ski in england). I love the sea, diving and snorkelling and also also generally nature and hiking and being outdoors. I’m starting a PhD in materials chemistry in October and travelling around a bit before I start.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am relatively new to Couchsurfing but I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and experience something different to hostels where most people I meet are also english. I would love to meet people and hopefully make some amazing memories together!

When I travel I don't like to just do tours/ see the sights everyone sees, take a photo and move on... I think the people you meet travelling and the experiences you have are what makes travel special

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all genres of music, films and books.
My favourite book right now is a brave new world but this always changes based on what the latest book i really enjoyed reading is.
Some of my favourite films are Good Will Hunting, Notting Hill, Forest Gump, Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was lucky enough to be able to volunteer for 2 months on a marine conservation project in Madagascar.
I learned to dive and collected data for the charity on the state of the corals/ sea life, as well as teaching an English class and helping out in village projects as much as I could. It was an incredible experience that showed such a great example of how if you give people tools they can prosper.

Teach, Learn, Share

Id love to share my time with you and get to know you and your story.
I can teach you some phrases in Croatian/Chinese/Spanish
I study the world around us -I can tell you about why clouds float, why the sky is blue, what black holes are etc etc if you've ever wondered

I like to think I am good at cooking so can make food for you if you like and you can judge that :))
