Active, driven and curious individual who studies Spanish, French and Italian literature. I love to travel and have lived abroad in Asia and in Mallorca with my Spanish-speaking mother.
I love cooking and have a hostess and cookery qualification from one of the best schools in London.
I am up for almost anything and keen to listen to others' experiences and learn as much as possible about new people and places.
I love art and run my own art business.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on my year abroad as part of my university degree and keen to have the best immersion in French culture and meet locals.
I love giving and feel I could share a lot of my knowledge and experiences with others in return for being welcomed in their home.
