I'm a twenty year old languages student (French, German and beginner's Arabic). I love to travel. I've spent the majority of the last year living in Switzerland, and am now trying to make the most of my summer before I become a poor, debt ridden student in October. I'm a native English speaker who speaks very good French and, when I'm back into it, good German.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Planned and booked a low budget trip to Germany for a few days to stay with a friend who let me down at the very last moment. Devoid of any other options, I turned to couch surfing on her advice and had a wonderful experience. Definitely something I would do again. I can't currently host (sad face) as apparently it's against my uni contract, but I'd love to, soon!

Interests

Besides travelling and languages, I like music (I was a violinist for 15 years) and recently I'm spending a pleasing amount of time with my nose in a book. I also like to blog, bike, run (really need to get back into that) and my favourite thing to do is fix my mother's computer problems. At least that's what I tell her. I'm quite political, and always up for a discussion, if you are. Many things interest me, new knowledge is the best knowledge.
