CURRENT MISSION

laughing until I cry

ABOUT ME

History student at University of Manchester studying Modern British History (higher education, gender, and imperialism).

I love to bake cookies.

PHILOSOPHY

Smile often, laugh more. Listen. Remain hopeful. Question.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can definitely meet for coffee and chats in Manchester

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed on friends' couches all the time. We made communal pizza one evening in Oakland and had a ball cooking, drinking, and sharing stories.

I welcomed surfers when I was living on my own in Japan and had a really great experience meeting all sorts of travelers.

Surfing is my next mission!
