Hello everyone!

I'm Charlotte...a Cornish beach wanderer-cum-London dweller. At the moment, my work doesn't require a fixed location, so I'm travelling around a bit, enjoying the summer!

I work as a freelance barista at festivals, a writer for a news site, an events manager for a social enterprise and I do some marketing work for a new magazine based in London.

I would love to meet some new people this summer, and hopefully share some fun experiences together!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Though I've been signed up to Couchsurfing for a long while now, my experiences have been less officially orchestrated-spontaneous meetings leading into three week stays together! That sort of thing.

But I'd like to participate more, both in hosting and surfing. I love the idea of offering up my home to new people, sharing food, stories, ideas and showing them the most interesting places. I think getting to know new people is probably the best thing about travelling, i've made some great friends along the way and I'd like to make more!

Interests

Being outside! I love cycling, surfing, hiking...I am planning some cycle tours for later this year and i try to be in the water as much as i possibly can!

Moving indoors I enjoy cooking, reading, films, politics, good conversation and great coffee.

Movies wise i love anything with a thoughtful story, surreal twists..Amoldovar, Hertzfeldt

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I embarked on a 6 day solo motorbike trip around the national parks and trails of Northern Thailand...it was an adventure which had me supping whisky with locals on a roadside as we all sheltered from a huge storm, lodging overnight in garden huts, getting lost in vast places and not seeing another individual for an entire day's riding

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great veggie recipes and food, coffee! ( i often work for coffee roasters and shops and usually have a bag or 2 lurking about), travel stories. As a writer/marketing person i could help with any written work or chat through fundraising experience
