About Me

Currently completing my Masters in London, UK

I am a relatively inexperienced couchsurfer but a really fun and open-minded individual that loves meeting people from around the world, and am happy to answer any questions or give you any more details about myself, etc.

I'm a 24-year-old experienced traveler. Like meeting new people and getting to know them, exploring the world and getting outside of my comfort zone. I enjoy working internationally and living outside of my country of origin. I speak Spanish and English fluently and speak intermediate French (am taking classes now), and speak some basic Portuguese.
