Hi I'm Charlotte :) I'm a New Zealander living and working in Cambridge, UK with my fiancé. Last year we travelled for 10 months round Europe, Asia and North Africa and had some amazing Couchsurfing experiences. Unfortunately our student accomodation where we live does not allow us to host surfers, but we would be keen to meet up, show you around and hopefully host in the near future :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a friendly and outgoing person and I love experiencing different cultures.

Interests

I love animals, especially dogs! Back home in NZ I have an adorable chihuahua x papillon called Norman Fluffball. Of course I love travelling and want to see as much of the world as possible. I love the outdoors, I especially like hiking, skiing and running.

I also like poetry e.g. Carol Ann Duffy.

Music: Mostly I like classical; Chopin, Schubert, Mozart, Beethoven are my faves, but I listen to anything really.
