ABOUT ME

I grew up in the UK but have spent a bit of time in Spain, Tanzania and most recently in South America where I came across the CS community and had my first couch surfing experience. I was travelling alone so it was great to meet up with people along the way!

PHILOSOPHY

Strive to be happy... [Desiderata]

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I stayed with a couchsurfer in South America who introduced me to the CS community! I am now hosting too. I like to attend and set up meetings and activities and can provide transport to and from events, etc.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Although my CS experience is limited, I have still met so many remarkable, interesting, and friendly people through couchsurfing.
I have been shown exceptional hospitality in the group meetings I have attended abroad. I like to think that by meeting travellers in this country I am returning the favour but really it gives me the opportunity to explore my own country (and allows me to pretend I'm still travelling...)

Teach, Learn, Share

I have some experience of teaching English abroad so can help out with language learning. I am also always trying to improve my Spanish so I'd be up for conversation exchange too!
Can anyone teach me guitar?! I want to learn but am too lazy by myself! I can cook dinners in return... or do something arty (not sure what this could be...)
