I love to travel and I look forward to meeting new people and sharing stories, food and fun times :)
I am now living in Paris to study a Masters in Human Rights and Humanitarian Action.
I previously lived in London (my hometown), Brighton (my university town) and Rabat, Morocco (where I spent an exchange year and would love to return).
I am excited to meet new friends and to continue learning French and Arabic.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, go to new places, discover new things, learn languages, share stories, share good times, make friends, save money...

Interests

Spending time with friends, eating good food, exploring new places.
I play cowbells in a Brighton samba/reggae/funk band.
I love dancing (though I'm not very good at it!) - especially afrobeat dance and dancehall :D
I can happily spend hours wandering cities, drinking good coffee, looking at buildings and churches, eating street food and chatting.
