Hi, my names Grace!

I am an English speaking nanny living in Paris, originally from Manchester. I quit my job as a children’s nurse in Manchester to backpack around Asia for 7 months and then started my job as a nanny in Paris.
I love to cook, and I am great with kids. I can help around the house as needed!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been travelling for three months staying in hostels. As wonderful as this is, I believe I can gain a more authentic experienced staying with local people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have lots of favourite bands, and I love music festivals. I am very open to new music and love to learn about new bands.

The last book I read was a factual book about Buddhism, to help me understand more about the temples I have visited in Thailand. I am now reading a book about Bangkok. I like to do this to help me understand more about a country.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have taken part in various charity events. One being a 30 hour race to get as far away from Manchester as possible. I managed to hitchhike to Switzerland.

I have also volunteered in a Nepali hospital for three months. To do this I had to start learning Nepali, which I loved. I then helped out in a doctors office in a mountain village.
