About Me

I'm a History teacher living in outer West London with my boyfriend. We both love travelling and experiencing new cultures and will take every opportunity to go somewhere new. I'm open and friendly and very interested in experiencing new cultures. I play the violin and love to sing, as music is a passion of mine. I may be a bit shy at first but I do love to meet new people, especially abroad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and experience different cultures so what better way to immerse myself in a new country than to stay with locals?

Interests

I teach history at secondary level (high school) so that's a huge passion of mine. I love learning the history of the country I am visiting and seeing historical landmarks and sites. I am really into music and performing arts and make regular trips to the theatre.
