ABOUT ME

Hey there people. Im Claire, currently residing in the sometimes sunny Brighton & Hove, UK. I work in a hostel, meet lots of cool travel folk, and try and squeeze in as much beach time as poss. I love to travel and the more I do realise how much of the world I havent seen. I hope my next big adventure will be taking place in Central & South America, and if all goes according to plan I will pick up some Espanol and be one of those cool bilingual folks.

PHILOSOPHY

Personal Philosophies are a bit wanky arent they?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am working and living in a hostel so while I cant provide a couch to crash on, we do have dorm beds! Not free unfortunately but a great place to stay! I have been to a few CS meetings in Auckland & in London. I have hung out with travelling CSers and shown them around London. I have surfed with a couple of people, and am looking forward to getting settled somewhere so i can return the favour to those in need!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had one scary CS experience which kinda put me off but am all set to give it another go and hope for a better result.

Interests

All the usual stuff, music, books, movies, anything girly, making lists, and of course travel travel travel! Addicted to clothing & window shopping, particularly dresses and I soon hope too incorporate that into the big wide career plan.
