About Me

CURRENT MISSION

living life to the full and meeting great people along the way!

ABOUT ME

Heya I'm Sophie I am a 22 year old british student studying Accounting at Aberystwyth University (don't judge me I'm just good with numbers)
I got 'hooked' on traveling seven years
ago when I went around china for a month and I am determined to go as often as possible to as many countries as possible. Since then I have been on a gap year where I had my first couch surfing experience in New Zealand and numerous holidays too!
I love learning about the different cultures and traditions of a country and I also always try to learn a little of the language as well - my bf and I's favourite thing to do while away is discover local restaurants/bars/experiences away from the tourist spots.
I love to have a good time and a laugh with people be it my best friend or someone I have just met
I am also a firm believer of trying anything once!

PHILOSOPHY

Try everything once no matter what you will regret it if you don't!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

After finishing Uni in May my boyfriend and I are planning a 23 day tour of Europe, we would like to make the experience even more memorable by couch surfing parts of it and getting to know as many nationalities as possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Fairly inexperienced with couch surfing, but had a lovely host on my gap year in New Zealand who I stayed with for just under a week.

Interests

As already stated one of my biggest interests is travelling and learning about different cultures and ways of life.
I am also a very sporty person and love the outdoors especially walking/trekking, I am also coach of my university Lacrosse team so that is a great passion of mine.
However, that being said I also love to just settle down with a good book for hours on end.

Music, Movies, and Books

my taste in music and books is very eclectic. I often have more than one book going at a time and usually I will be reading something quite interesting such as 'shantaram' with a really girly easy reading book! My music taste varies depending on mood I'm in but van morrison, led zep, rolling stones, the beatles, kings of leon, the black keys are a few at the top of my playlist at the moment!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I painted a school in the mountainous regions of Tibet

I climbed 66000 steps up the most religous mountain in China

Worked in an Indian orphanage for 2months with 2000 children

Trekked across the Sinai desert for a week in 40 degree heat

Travelled around the world on my own for 7 months at 18years old.

(okay so that may be more than one amazing thing)

Never plan too much when you are traveling sometime events occur that you never expect but just go with the flow it will always work out!
