Hi all, Gemma here! I'm originally from the south coast of England, but was living in London for the last few years. Then I left my job last September to come travelling.. I'm currently exploring France and loving every second!

I love exploring new cities as well as taking hikes out in the countryside; discovering new music and foods; and sharing ideas and views over a coffee with anyone who fancies a chat ☕🙂

It would be great to meet you and hang out sometime!

(**Please note that as I'm travelling right now, unfortunately I'm not able to host anyone. I hope when I settle back in England this will become a possibility though.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To share stories, see new places through local eyes, to seek the unexpected, make friends and of course have fun 😁

Interests

Well my greatest passion and life ambition has always been to travel!

I also love animals and have volunteered at three different shelters in Spain, Greece, and Portugal. If you have any pets at your place I'm definitely going to say hi 😅

When I'm in London I go out a lot to see live music and concerts with friends, and I like to visit city's museums and galleries too.

I'm always happy to try something new, as you never know what you'll end up falling in love with!

Music, Movies, and Books

I really enjoy reading and watching period dramas, fantasy and thrillers.
I mostly listen to indie, rock, and electronic music, but also enjoy classical, folk, pop.. the list goes on!
