Hello!

I'm a Londoner working in international development. I'm very social and active, and am always up for a spontaneous outing. I'm curious about most people and places, and love getting to know new people!

After leaving high school I lived in Beijing, learning Chinese and teaching English. Since then I've tried to spend as much time abroad as possible, and have lived in Berlin, Boston, Texas and Edinburgh. Currently I'm working remotely in Istanbul 😊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people and get to know a place from the perspective of people from there - my favourite thing to do is go out for a glass of wine at a local bar and chat the evening away.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to North Korea a few years ago which was pretty crazy.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm learning French at the moment, and love practicing it when I can

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking, particularly middle-eastern food, and would love to offer some meals as a thank you! Plus, you'll always be welcome in London.
