Overview
About Me
Hello, I am a musician (singing is my favourite) and I also love to travel, to crochet and knit, to be in the great outdoors and practice yoga. I'm a vegetarian because I just love animals... You will frequently find me crying from a 'cuteness' overload when watching videos of pretty much any baby animal. I have completed a Master's degree in Ethnomusicology - a subject combining my love of music and travel/the world. I love and care deeply about nature, and in the future I would love to live as self-sufficiently as possible with as little impact on the environment as I can.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Because I want to find people that I can spend time with whilst travelling. Although I am embarking on a solo trip, I want to make new friends and share memories with new people.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love singer/songwriters such as Joni Mitchell and Newton Faulkner, bands such as the Beatles and Keane, as well as British folk music. I also love Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Eric Satie and Bach. I love so many different kinds of Music! I just don't like much modern music that you are likely to hear over the radio in the charts at the moment! Movies... I have so many favourites. I love Pride and Prejudice, La Vita e Bella, Lord of the Rings and literally anything narrated by David Attenborough. Books - fantasy fiction all the way; Lord of the Rings and Eragon, but also I love classics such as the Picture of Dorian Gray, Wuthering Heights and the Great Gatsby.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I volunteered in the foothills of the Himalayas for three months in Nepal, which was incredible. Fully immersing myself in Nepali culture and lifestyle was something I will carry with me forever.
