Overview
About Me
I'm a second year Theatre Design student in London. I'm travelling around Europe for the summer to take advantage of summer holidays before I have to be an adult and work! :P
I'm love learning about different cultures, having new experiences and meeting new people.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am a broke art student. Plus I rather explore cities the way a local would instead of the way a tourist would. I think being let into someone's home and world is a unique and privileged way of exploring that you simply cannot get from hostels and hotels.
Interests
I love travelling and meeting new people. I usually find that the best way of getting to know a city is to just walk around and explore. I love visiting farmers markets and flea markets and the such, because you often find the best things there. I'm incredibly into live music of all sorts. It doesn't necessarily have to be gigs, I have a fascination with buskers because I think that even though technically they are singing for money, money isn't the main motivation and often you can see a real love for the music they play. I love the theatre and am interested in art. Oh and of course I'm always keen on a drink in the evenings!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I don't know how amazing or remarkable it is really, but I recently went on a tour of Tuscany on a vespa. It was my first experience driving any form of motoercycle and it was so much fun. I fear that I'm never going to enjoy any other mode of transportation as much and I'm convinced I need to get myself some form of motorcycle once I get back to London.
I guess I'm looking to do something to add to this list. My horizons are not yet wide enough.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm not entirely sure what I'm meant to write here. I guess I can teach people a bit of english and hindi... I'm quite happy to learn whatever someone offers to teach me, these things never go to waste!
What I Can Share with Hosts
Sense of humour and questionable musical talent (as in I have none).
I can also cook a little and bake a lot!
I'm very good at sharing stories!
