Hi! I'm Lois, I'm a 23 year-old Philosophy and Sociology graduate from London, living in Bristol (in the SW of England).

I loved my studies and have a passion for writing, reading, academia and literature. I live for good conversation and sharing ideas, I believe that every person has things to teach me. I can be sociable and open, but I also like spending time alone. I'm involved with quite a lot of political activism in England and am deeply passionate about the environment and sustainability.

Aside from spending a lot of time in a library with my head in books, I have an affinity with nature and great passion for the outdoors - I cycle everywhere in England, I love swimming in rivers and dancing in the sunshine, skiing, camping, kayaking, climbing trees, long walks in the woods, adventures in the sea. I love travelling and getting lost in foreign places. I love yoga, acro yoga is a big passion of mine and I train in it twice a week normally; this leads on to my passion for health in general, especially nutrition.

I spend lots of my free time cooking, it is one of my favourite things to do, there is very little more satisfying for me than sharing food with others, I would love to live somewhere where I can grow my own food one day. I love art and have a real interest in design, I like photography, painting, life drawing and making things. I love animals and looking after them. I get on very well with kids and love embracing their inquisitive nature and playing, learning from each other. I spend many hours a week finding new music and love travelling the world and through time by listening to music, I have a project of recording sounds wherever I go. I am interested in meditation and spirituality and love dance meditation like 5rhythums and kirtan singing.

I was working since I finished studying in June, then I went to Spain for a month, I briefly stopped in NYC for a week, then I have been in Mexico for almost 3 months. I LOVE it here!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and sharing knowledge, ideas and experiences, travelling is one of the most formative, amazing experiences and I love that this site exists to make it cheaper (more accessible) and more culturally beneficial!
