Hello!
I am currently living in Schwerin in Mecklenberg-Vorpommern as I'm spending a few years teaching English here. I'm originally from South-East London and used to work as a designer for theatre but am now devoting some time to travel and to trying to learn as much German as I can (and hopefully some beginner French/other languages at the same time!). I'm hoping to travel as much as possible whilst I'm here and am looking forward to meeting people on my travels.

I don't smoke (but dont mind if you do) and I love animals, art and music. I'm vegetarian, attempting veganism, but occasionally giving into temptation and eating haribo when I'm sad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm trying to travel as cheaply as possible and meet as many interesting people as I can. Where I'm living is quite isolating so I'd really like to visit as many other cities as I can and hopefully have a chance to practice my german & befriend some wonderful German folk (or folk from any other country!)
