Hi, I'm Claire, from the UK. I'm currently taking a few months out between my Masters and starting my new job to travel and collect stories, friends, places and memories. I love meeting people and learning about new cultures. I would describe myself as easy-going and open-minded, always up for a laugh and to swap ideas with someone new.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

At the moment I'm between apartments so can't host, but hope to in the future. I love meeting new people and I think that the experience of getting to know a new place or culture through the eyes of a local is priceless. I used to work as a tour guide so can always return the favour if you're ever in my neck of the woods! :)

Interests

Cooking (and eating!), Latin and Ballroom dancing, reading, philosophy, and of course travelling! I am always looking to discover new interests from new people :)

Plucking chickens for dinner in Madagascar, climbing a volcano in Indonesia, charity work in Brazil...always looking for the next amazing experience just round the corner :)

Teach, Learn, Share

If you would like to learn to bake and decorate cakes, learn to dance or speak English or Spanish, we should meet. I'm always keen to learn new styles of dance and new languages

I love cooking and will happily put all sorts of different food on a host's table, as well as hopefully sharing some interesting stories!
