About Me

Hello! Good to meet you!

I am from Yorkshire, North England and I have lived on the south coast of England in Brighton for 5 years. I studied Design & Craft at Brighton University from 2011-2014. I now live in Barcelona and am working as an English Teacher here.

I am very open minded, outgoing and creative. I love to draw the things around me that inspire me, especially when I am in a new place. In Barcelona I have started a drawing project of Balconies as there are literally thousands here!

I love any chance to go on a new adventure and being in Nature!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I love to travel and am currently trying to explore the surrounding area of Barcelona as much as I can!!

The second reason is that I love meeting new people and seeing their culture first hand and how they live! I love to meet people from different backgrounds and learning new things too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved to Barcelona for a year to teach English in a school with having next to no Teaching Experience and was thrown straight in the deep end! But I quickly learned and now I am loving teaching and see myself doing this for the next few years.

Teach, Learn, Share

English is what I teach so I could possibly teach you some! and share my passion for arts and music and life!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am very friendly and chatty and love to share experiences.
I am also very creative and often like to do a drawing of something memorable from my stay as a present for the host.
