I love to learn and try new things. I'm passionate about human rights and love a chat about politics and culture. I love spending time outdoors: hiking, running, camping, indoor + outdoor climbing, yoga, swimming. I'm happiest when I'm lying in the sun or dancing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best travel experiences I've had have been Couchsurfing stays. Most of my stays happened during a nine-month trip in South and Central America in 2018. I love to meet kind and curious people, and learn about different parts of the world. I'd also love more opportunities to practise Spanish!

Interests

Yoga, making use of my overnight hiking gear, running (road and trail), vegetarian cooking, reading, ethical fashion / sustainable living, human rights, climbing, festivals and gigs, dancing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got put in first class... after I'd vomited ten times on a flight to Dubai

I was also proud to complete my first (and probably last...) marathon in 2021!

I don't have many useful skills but I'm pretty good at Bananagrams. I can also help with English, take you out for a coffee or cook a vegetarian meal.
