My name is Ciara. I am a 29-year-old lone female traveller from the UK currently travelling, mainly across Europe, after putting my travel plans on hold due to Covid.

I was born and raised in the South of England in a medium-sized town. I lived there for most of my life before attending the University of Gloucestershire. I moved to London in April 2022 and lived there for a couple of years before leaving to travel.

I try to be as active as possible and like to spend my spare time doing something. I love walking, skateboarding, rock climbing or bouldering, going to live music and theatre shows, cycling, camping, swimming, horse riding, board games, surfing, skiing, and pretty much anything else fun you can think of. I'll give everything a go at least once! I love history and really enjoy educational activities such as visiting castles, museums, and historical landmarks, etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To travel and connect with new people from different cultures and backgrounds.

Interests

I have a love for music and cinema. I am very much a "hard copy" person, and back home, I have a collection of DVD's and vinyls. I am a big Harry Potter fan and always love to connect with fellow Potter Heads.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help you, family, and friends with developing your English skills, both verbal and written.

I can teach you about England and the British culture, which I would describe as simple and relatively stereotypical.

I am happy to help with general maintenance around the house along with cooking, cleaning, looking after pets, gardening, projects, and anything else you might need help with.

I am relatively fit and healthy and can help with lifting / moving, building, and everything else physical. I can help with painting and decorating and have done this many times as my mum loves home DIY and often ropes me into helping.

I am an extremely clean and tidy person and can't stand a mess. You'll usually find me cleaning up after my very messy sister.
