About Me

My experiences at boarding school were very formative and have shaped me into an individual with many interests, ambitions and empathies. My route to studying medicine was not straightforward. In fact, when I was 16 I chose A-Levels thinking I didn't want to go to medical school. But I did a U-turn and here I am, having finished my second year!
Now I'm loving it and having had a great experience travelling to Africa last summer I'm keen to satisfy my wanderlust some more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in a global community, in which everyone is welcome to share in each other's culture and experiences. Opening up your home to a stranger seems at first risky but is really a wonderful way to meet new people and enrich your experience of being in a different place.
