After completing a BA in International Relations at the University of Leeds I moved to Jordan in September 2016 to begin an internship with a locally based charity working with both refugees and local people living in poverty. My contract ended in February 2016 but I was able to extend my stay in Amman until May 2016 when I gained an internship with another NGO.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Coachsurfing to meet new people whilst living in Amman and on future travels.

Interests

I am sports fan and enjoy both watching and playing. In particular I am a huge football fan and a supporter of Arsenal (on my Dad's side) and my hometown club Preston North End. I have an eclectic music taste but have a particular soft spot for older music. I like to travel and in the summer of 2015 I backpacked through Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia with 4 of my friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was seen taking a swing and a miss on the UK gameshow 'The Chase'. I banked £5000, and was offered the chance to play for three different amounts which would determine the difficulty of winning; stick with the £5000, go for £1000, or go for £25000. I went for the high offer of £25,000 and ultimately lost
