About Me

I am an easy going and fun-loving explorer! I have a deep passion for traveling and discovering new cultures, languages and people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am doing a month long intensive teacher training programme in Potters Bar and would be very grateful for some low-cost accommodation during my time there :)

Interests

I enjoy live music and theatre. I love to stroll through cities and parks but also relish the freedom and calm of the 'great outdoors'. I swim and practise yoga to relax. My favourite method of travel is cycling :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all types of music: Hip Hop, House, Grime, Folk, classical...I am enjoying French Canadian music at the moment, namely: Patrick Watson and les soeurs Boulay

Books: Love in The Time of Cholera, The Red Tent, White Tiger, Half of a Yellow Sun...and always on the lookout for more recommendations! My favourite book is currently The Alchemist as it encourages and reassures me to trust my heart to take me in the right direction.

Some top films include Juno, Kirikou, Million Dollar Baby, Pulp Fiction, La Vie D'Adele, Moulin Rouge...the list goes on!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to think I bring a sense of happiness and easy-going fun to most situations! I would happily share music, languages and good conversation. (I also love a good sing-a-long)
