Hi, I'm Amy. Back home in England I teach the first year of school, I love my job but I'm taking a years break to travel South America. There's too much of the world to see to stay put in England! I'm friendly, chatty and love meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So many people have recommended Couchsurfing to me that I thought I'd give it a try! It seems like a great way to get some inside knowledge of cities and places from people who live there and to have different experiences outside of staying in hostels.

Interests

I love socialising with my friends, going to the pub (Pubs are very important in England!). Travelling, meeting new people, scuba diving and movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been lucky enough to do lots of amazing things during my travels so it's tricky to pick one but I loved diving at The Blue Hole in Belize, being surrounded by reef sharks and seeing a hammerhead.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a teacher at home and can help you with learning English.
I am learning Spanish but have a long while to go until I'm fluent so definitely need some help!
I love sharing good travelling stories over a few beers!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm looking to share people's love and interest in their own cities to make my travelling experiences even more enjoyable and I would be happy to do the same for you if you ever make it to England!
