Freelance translator, mum of two boys, language nerd, bookworm, TV series junkie, exercise fan, dance lover.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make new friends from around the world!

Interests

I love reading anything from novels to magazines including specialist linguistics and parenting titles. I really enjoy sports and exercise, particularly dancing and running. I also enjoy crafting, although now with two young kids, it's unfortunately taken a bit of a back seat lately!

Music, Movies, and Books

Oh too much and too many to name individually... Books and movies-wise: Sci-fi, fantasy, historical fiction, crime, thrillers... On the music front, anything you can really dance to, be it from the 1950s or last week!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Very cliché, but here goes... Given birth to my two boys!
In a travelling vein... Experienced electrical storms on the beach in Cuba and visited the Meteora monastries in Greece. Now we are currently planning a North American road trip with two small children!

Teach, Learn, Share

As a British expat living in Germany, I'd love to share my adopted home town of Cologne with travellers and learn about the places they come from.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversation, an invitation to stay at our place, friendliness, openness and respect.
