About Me

I teach English as a foreign language and have spent 2 phenomenal years teaching in Vietnam. I have always travelled and love working abroad so I can get to know new countries fully.
I'm currently working my way home from Vietnam through Japan and Australia.

I love animals of all shapes and sizes, though have had enough of cockroaches, coming from a big family I have always enjoyed working (or playing) with kids of all ages.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Partly because Im on a tight budget, and partly because after living abroad I feel quite uncomfortable as a tourist/traveller, and I think you get a more authentic feel for a place if you spend time with the locals.
