Hello, im Vivien, from Manchester
Currently about to start some really long journey and would like to make some friends along the way.

Im interested in art, particularly photography and painting. I love to go on long walks, swim (preferably outside), watching sunrises/sunsets and being in nature but also completely lost in huge cities.

A coffee lover (and dark chocolate fan….)

Apologies in advance but if you host me or visa versa I’m a bit messy sometimes and sometimes walk around with no shoes on (some people seem to find that offensive?!) so please do just tell me if im not up your standards and ill tidy up.

PHILOSOPHY

A very lazy buddhist

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was introduced to it on one of my first trips to Prague and met so many amazing people through so thought id continue when i can .
