Greetings! My name is Claire, I'm a Londoner born and bred and, as you could probably guess, I love to travel. I study the history of Africa and the Middle East at university in England and I am currently living in Argentina to learn Spanish and travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because it's the perfect way to meet new people, get a taste of a new place that isn't just from a lonely planet book and to save a bit of cash along the way. I haven't couchsurfed much but I've heard amazing things about it and want to do a lot more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to India for two months solely to travel and experience the culture, and that I did. I was only 18 at the time and it was a huge colourful, spicy and ridiculous slap in the face. I learned a lot, though also learned that talking too much about your time drinking chai, doing yoga and learning Hindi makes you sound like a wanker to all those listening. It was fucking great though!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I live in North London in a fairly large house that's centrally located. If I'm around when you want to visit I will be more than happy to return the favour!
