Overview
About Me
I am a bubbly and friendly mathematics graduate with a passion for the outdoors and adventure. I grew up in the beautiful Lake District, where I spent my summers camping, swimming, hiking and random adventuring, and am now itching to explore more of the world. I am an extremely open minded person, always looking for new experiences that break through the walls of my comfort zone. I love to meet new people from all walks of life, listening to their stories and sharing moments of happiness.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I have been backpacking for the past 6 months across Japan, Canada and now the U.S. and I believe that through couchsurfing we can truely connect with a place and its people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
During my travels I have been volunteering at various places and have had some crazy experiences. For one month I stayed at an off-grid Ashram (yoga, meditation and spiritual centre), which was simultaneously the most challenging and amazing experience of my life. Another of my favourite experiences was volunteering at a remote organic cafe in the mountains of Japan. My travels have taught me about living self-sufficiently, growing and cooking yummy organic veggies, learning the language of the land and animals and making friendships with people from all walks of life.
