I've grown up in many places around the UK, Canada and New Zealand and am currently living in Cardiff as a neuroscience student. Meeting new people and absorbing the local culture is therefore my way of life. I love to learn about other people's experiences and, though I'm not great at small talk, I'll happily chat for hours about things that have meaning to you.

I love to get outside and try new things with amazing people, leading me to be the treasurer of Cardiff University Mountaineering Club during my second year. I also love to read and sketch.

I'm a friendly, open-minded person and do everything I can to be both good host and guest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe meeting new, and invariably fantastic people is always the best choice when finding a place to stay. You make new friends, gain bits of local knowledge and have a more fulfilling, warm and enjoyable experience.
