I'm a second year university student, at the University of Leeds. I've always enjoyed travelling and have been to: Zambia, Thailand, Australia, USA, and many places around Europe.

I enjoy meeting new people and making new friends, and I absolutely love hearing other people's stories. I am very open-minded, a master procrastinator (especially when it comes to sitting down and doing uni work), and spontaneous. Routines are boring and I tend to avoid them.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I travel a lot, usually all summer, with many little trips in between. Money is a luxury when travelling and I would much rather host people and be hosted so that money can be spent on experiences rather than a place to sleep.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

BOOKS AND POETRY:
I read too many books to have a favourite, but I'm sure there are a few books that have stayed with me. If I were forced to namedrop a selection of authors - Markus Zusak, Ayn Rand, Cormac McCarthy, James Joyce.

Poetry wise, my tastes are very varied: Charles Bukowski; Philip Larkin; Carol Ann Duffy; Elizabeth Bishop.

MOVIES:
I dislike movies without a decent plot and far too much gore.

MUSIC:
I'm not particularly picky. I enjoy variation although I've never managed to appreciate screamo and heavy metal. Music completely depends on my mood and environment.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

TEACH:
I can teach English, editing and writing. If you were desperate for something to learn I can knit, french braid, and ballroom dance.

LEARN:
I love cooking and would love to learn more about other cuisines, and be taught by a local (so much better than the current method of youtube videos).
Learning Spanish, I'm spending a year in Malaga from September so hopefully I'll be fluent this time next year.

SHARE:
Experiences, music, literature. Hopefully laughs, fun, and a few beers.
