About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To master just one of the three languages I am studying!

ABOUT ME

I am a 21 year-old student, originally from a fairly dull suburb of London, living and studying in Bristol at the moment, which is brilliant. I have spent a fair amount of my life in other countries, my favourites are Malaysia, Russia and Brazil, but I have loved most of the places I have been to. In an ideal world I would just travel for a living

PHILOSOPHY

Always be adventurous and spend all your money on going places not buying things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
