About Me

A curious person, avid traveller, and map nerd, who’s always eager for adventure! I’m an active person who loves torturing myself through either running, hiking up mountains, cycling, swimming, etc.
Not only do I love exploring new places, but also love to learn more about the local culture, food, history, and lifestyle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that the most fun, authentic and fulfilling way to travel is through meeting locals and learning about the culture. It also helps to restore my faith in humanity!
I’m also keen to open my home up, when possible, to help return the favour and to keep this wonderful community alive.

Music, Movies, and Books

Big music fan- always interested in discovering new music! Mainly a fan of indie rock/ alternative, but love to hear new genres however niche they may be…

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked across England over 2 weeks. Started in the Lake District, ended at the North York Moors!

Teach, Learn, Share

Up for helping others to speak English, and I’d love to be fluent in at least one other language (I’m learning French currently)!
Also happy to give advice on hiking, the great outdoors, or teach about Earth Sciences.
