ABOUT ME

I am a 27 year old British girl who is currently on the move. I lived in Marrakech for three years (teaching English, learning French, Arabic and about Moroccan culture) and have just left, to go back to school in Europe. I'm interested in different cultures, different languages, different religions and different ideas...

I studied Philosophy for my Bachelors degree back in 2007-10, then lived in Bristol for a while, did lots of travelling around Europe, North, East and West Africa, India... settled in Marrakech for 3 years... and will now finally start my Masters in intercultural mediation (Europe - North Africa - Middle East), languages, and cross-Mediterranean migration.

I enjoy meeting new people with interesting ideas, sharing food and wine, dancing, trying new kinds of dance and hearing new music, walking, exploring, swimming, cycling...etc.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind, take risks, and accept responsibility for your actions and your life

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can't host people right now as I don't have my own place, and in fact I have only couchsurfed a couple of times, but I would like to get more involved when I get a place of my own! It's a beautiful concept and friends have had some wonderful times with couchsurfing..
