About me? Well, I have lived my whole life on a farm surrounded by horses , cattle, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rhino beetles, snakes, etc, etc - nearly any pet you can name! I have 2 younger sisters & 2 [much older] half brothers....& loads of friends all over the world!! I completed high school in 2014 with my Cambridge A Levels & since then I have been doing a little bit of travelling..& working & learning as I go along. I have done interior design, cooking, child-minding & working racehorses since I left home in January 2015. I love movies & learning. I love music & sport...debating & the outdoors. I love science, animals, food & people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm wanting to travel as far as I can on a budget, but I am a young girl travelling on my own...which is intimidating. I don't feel like it's particularly safe or appropriate to camp down in the middle of nowhere on my own (which I wouldn't mind doing, in all honestly!) I'm seeking adventure & friendships. I want to learn about different people, cultures, traditions & countries by immersing myself in life in a place...& I don't believe you can do that entirely by being a 'tourist' & living in smart hotels.

Interests

.....I have a huge variety of interests! I am particularly interested in horses, music (especially pop & classical), art, cooking, writing, reading & drinking coffee!!! I love anything adventurous & outdoorsie..& artie!
