Lover of travelling, I left the UK five years ago to live in East Africa, was in Moscow afterwards and now back in the UK. I am a qualified school teacher who has been working the past ten years, but now fancies a break! I am a big fan of football, yoga, history, reading and partying although not necessarily in that order.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best part of any adventure is meeting people who know the city they live in inside and out. How else are you going to find those hidden gems that only the locals know about?

Interests
