CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to get to know more different people from different cultures, and hopefully in the process people will get to know a bit more about mine :)

ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm Connie, I live in Rayleigh, Essex where I am a secondary school teacher of French and Mandarin. I have always loved travelling - particularly to French speaking countries and China where I can learn more language. I love trying different cuisines (I even attempt to make some myself!) and I recently tried to learn to dance (lol).

PHILOSOPHY

One life, no regrets.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Je cherche quelqu'un qui peut m'accuellir pendant je voyage en France et en Belgique, et je voudrais accuellir des gens chez moi à Londres. Je serai là aussi à Londres pour prendre un café ou accompagner des visiteurs aux musées etc.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I signed up 7 years ago while staying with a home stay family in Dijon studying French and I met up with a local girl and her friends for a drink a couple of times. It was great!

Je me suis inscrit il y a 5 ans pendant que j'habitais chez une famille d'acceuil quand je faisais mes études à Dijon. J'ai rencontré une fille française et on s'est vu deux fois pour prendre un verre.
