Hello! I'm Lauren, i'm fun, outgoing and take a genuine interest in people. I've just graduated and was studying psychology. I also did a placement year living in Malaysia and teaching English for half of it, and providing 1-1 support in a year 4 class for the second half! My boyfriend and I are currently travelling around the bottom half of the globe for the next 7 months and are looking to meet as many people and exchange as many stories as possible. We're polite and courteous and respect other peoples space. We like a party but also enjoy our downtime! My boyfriends a photographer (he might even redo your profile picture for you!) and has a keen interest in photojournalism.

Also Khaled Hosseini is one of my fave authors and one of my all time favourite books is The Book Thief, such a good read
