Hola!

Quiero meet nice people, have a good time y practicar español!

I love music, art, film, good food and good conversation.

I am a 6ft tall leftie feminist

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet cool people and learn about the places that I'm staying.

My housemates and I hosted a few people on their account and really enjoyed it. So far, so good!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have spent a year volunteering in Tanzania and a year volunteering in Papua New Guinea. As a result I speak (ki)Swahili and Tok Pisin ('PNG Pidgin'). They're fun languages :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a bit of Swahili and PNG Pidgin. PNG Pidgin is a hilarious, wonderful language.

I can cook? I'm not bad, especially with not-meat. I worked in kitchens for two years so I can cook meat too.
