I have lived in London all my life but I am addicted to travelling. My first trip was to Canada at 6 months old. I'm luck enough to have parents that work for an airline so have visited many places! I still have many places yet to visit that are on my bucket list.

Weekends away help my blues go away but my favourite trips of all are when I go exploring for weeks at a time.

I enjoy meeting people from all walks of life, learning a little about them and their culture.

I am a huge foodie so if you can cook and well we will definitely get along!!!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I am completely new to this. My first experience was attending the Hamburg Invasion event this year where I met so many wonderful people.

It made me see what I was missing so now I am here ready to surf!

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I've seen many amazing things however I'd say one amazing thing I’ve done has more value.

In 2011 I spent 3 months volunteering my time in Sri Lanka. I taught English at a youth centre and a few girl orphanages. I also offered my time at some special needs centre entertaining their patients. It was sad but also heart-warming how happy the patients were when we played with them.

I was with children and elderly men (some were not disabled at all, their family's had disowned them as they were no longer a value to them but a burden) the elderly men just wanted someone to talk to so I listened, the children and mentally disabled wanted to play games so each time I came up with something different and creative to do just to put a smile on their faces. It was evident the workers there made no effort with them at all.

I saw one mentally ill boy who was living in a cage. It was horrific but I found just the thing to make him smile. Bubbles, every time I visited blowing bubbles into his cage made him giggle and laugh and he ran around trying to catch them before the burst.

It shows how sweet innocence can be.

Although I love travelling and find it thoroughly rewarding it didn't compare to this experience. I would love to find the time to do it again.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

Well currently I do not live at my own place however there are times when the place is free and I'd be happy to host people. I have a lot of room so you could possibility have a bed for the night too!

I'm always happy to meet up, socialise and show the sites even if I am unable to host so please do get in touch!
