Born and bred in London but with Portuguese and Irish heritage. I have just given up my job in the financial industry and plan on going on a long RTW trip for the foreseeable future!
Since doing an exchange program in Hong Kong for university I caught the travel bug and have been trying to 'get it out of my system' ever since. Settled down in London in a job but after three years, I need to get out of the rat race again - for good.
I am an easygoing, passionate person looking for authentic travel experiences!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've travelled extensively and will continue to do so for the long term again soon!
Would love to meet people who will enrich my future travel experiences so would (hopefully) like to meet people who are travelling in London to do the same!
I haven't really used Couchsurfing before but I'm excited to meet new people!
