ABOUT ME

I am a fun outgoing person. I like to meet people from all walks of life :)
I work from home as an online TEFL teacher which I absolutely love! I meet so many interesting and wonderful students from all over the world, it is incredible to be doing such a fulfilling job.
I also run a web design business and work with entrepreneurs and charities. I am very lucky with to meet the people that I do and work with such inspiring people.
I love to travel and meet other people. I love to learn about other cultures and traditions and will try my best to embrace the opportunity to live like a local.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch-surfed through the Philippines, Malaysia, Laos, Thailand, China, Latvia, Poland, Lithuania, Germany and Holland. Meeting some very interesting people along the way and actually formed some very close friendships! I love couch surfing as a way of meeting locals and really getting to know about local life and values. I haven't hosted yet due to my living circumstances when I am in the UK :( However I always try and attend local meet ups or help friends out who are hosting. One day when I have my own place I would love to have a a space so I can host many couch surfers and give back :)
