About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Hoping to go on a tour of some African countries next summer and spot some wild animals ☺

ABOUT ME

English girl living in France who has a passion for travelling around the world, discovering new places/cultures and meeting new friends.

I love to laugh and watch a good game of rugby.

PHILOSOPHY

"The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page. - Saint Augustine

Variety is the spice of life. Go out and experience it!

After caring for a disabled father for many years, I try to make the most of everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've surfed a few times in the US and have now started to host.

I think that couchsurfing is a wonderful way to meet like-minded travel-mad people while getting more of a 'real-feel' experience wherever you are staying.

Interests

TRAVEL!! Learning about other cultures, reading, film, rugby, dinner with friends

I've been to a fair few places, but still many more yet to see!
