Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've not used couch-surfing yet but about to move to a suburban town in Switzerland to make some money as a nanny for my Play Therapy Masters so want to use the opportunity to make friends/travel around!

I'm an ex-Lit student still studying creative writing and keen to meet likeminded people who like the outdoors, sports, gigging - fun!

I'm vegetarian ( mostly dairy-free too - unless it's a weekend then im a lil lax) but happy to bring my own food!

Teach, Learn, Share

Eager to learn anything - about your life, your cooking, your city.
Can teach you useless but fun skills like making carton wallets from tetrapaks. Hey, actually, they're not useless!

can teach lots of songs and stories, and good conversation. I have a couple of jokes up my sleeves
