Hi! I'm Claire, I’m from St Louis, MO, U.S.A. and currently living in London. I love to travel and meet new people. I'm really into all kinds of outdoor activities, especially rock climbing (I'm in my uni's mountaineering club) as well as hiking and camping! I've had lots of fun adventures exploring the munros of Scotland and would love to hike or camp when traveling. I'm also really into running - I've run 5 half marathons and two full marathons. I love all sorts of books and movies and would love to discuss with any hosts about their faves, and overall just get to know and meet new people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m very open to meeting new people and couchsurfing is a great way to make new friends!

Teach, Learn, Share

Also nearly fluent in French and learning Arabic, would love to speak with hosts who are also learning or already speak these languages!
