I am an English teacher and teacher-trainer, currently enjoying an 8-month sabbatical. I have spent 5 weeks in Central America, 3 months volunteering in Haiti and have 6 weeks in South America before heading to New Zealand and Australia.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I think it's really nice to spend time with 'locals' when visiting a country. It's the best way to understand a place. I love meeting new people and making new friends.

Centres d'intérêt

I love reading, writing, discovering new places, watching football and music (especially live music at gigs/concerts, or dancing to it).

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

I like an eclectic mix of books, films and music. I love reading and enjoy anything from classic literary fiction to a footballer's autobiography. Equally with music, I love music from the sixties like The Beatles, I enjoy listening to acoustic guitar, but I am loving Latino pop and Reggaeton.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Asking for this sabbatical is probably the most radical thing I've done and I've enjoyed my travel experiences so far - the highlight was probably the volcano hike in Guatemala where I loved watching the neighbouring volcano erupting.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I'm not sure what I can offer to teach... English lessons maybe? Once I'm back home, I will have my cute flat with a spare room half an hour (by train) outside central London to offer.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

Oh I don't know... a chance to practise English? Happy to muck in with cooking etc.
