I am 25 years old, adventurous, and want to challenge myself by living in France, to improve my French and to learn about the different way of life here. Originally I'm from Norfolk in England, but I have lived in Bristol and Bath for the past 6 years. I have trained to teach English to speakers of other languages, and would love to find work in this sector.

I love yoga, cycling, skiing and being active. I also love music and socialising with friends, attending live music events and festivals, going out for drinks and dinner. I love engaging discussions with people who are passionate about something: art, travel, philosophy, science...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am hoping to explore different pockets of the world and meet others from different walks of life who can expand my mind and introduce me to new things.

Music, Movies, and Books

Having studied English literature at uni, I have plenty of book recommendations. My recent favourites being:
John Berger - Confabulations
Jean Rhys - Good Morning Midnight

Irvine Welsh - Trainspotting

I love reggae and dub music, world music, I like jazz and blues and plenty of other genres!

I really love Wes Anderson films, art house cinema and various bits and bobs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sky diving comes to mind! I've also read the longest book ever written, but that sounds a bit boring...
