Hey guys!

I'm a 25 year old solo female Traveller from Glasgow, Scotland. Minus the ginger hair and kilt wearing, I'm a typical Scot - always up for a laugh, super friendly and very easy going!

I qualified as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist in January and I've been travelling since February around South America and Asia. I went back home in October for a bit of a rest - and for my mums home cooking! Now I'm ready to hit the road again. Heading to Australia mid-December then onto Fiji and NZ in 2018.

I've met so many brilliant people along the way and love being able to make friends from people all over the world. I couch surfed a few times around Asia and loved it so hoping to do it a bit more often on this upcoming trip.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've stayed in so many hostels and different places... but in all honesty, you can't beat the local knowledge. I'm always trying to get away from the tourist traps and find things which are a bit different which staying with locals totally lets me do. I really enjoy getting to know the people who host me, spending time with them, and exchanging stories. Being a solo traveller in hostels all the time can get exhausting so it's nice to spend a bit of time with someone just on your own, if that makes any sense!

Interests

I really enjoy exercise and being outside. So I'm usually combining the two and going running or hiking. I love the gym but I am also a bit of a beach bum and I'll sunbathe all day and not move if it's nice out. I've gotten into photography during my travels so love wandering around taking cool photos. I enjoy movies and TV, but books are my thing! I'm pretty spontaneous and up for a laugh, there's not much I won't do or don't like. I'm also partial to a good night out - I'm Scottish, of course I am haha!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - mainly indie/folk/rock music. Kasabian, Foo Fighters, Oasis (Noel Gallagher mainly), Kodaline, Wolf Alice. I absolutely LOVE music festivals and it's on my bucket list to go to Coachella.

Movies - I actually really love old black and white movies. But I'll watch anything, except alien stuff cause it annoys me.

Books - Once I get a good book its not uncommon for me to just stay up all night until its done. Love psychological thrillers and books based on true events.
