Overview
About Me
I'm 26, female. I grew up in Gran Canaria and Brighton and I've lived in Brighton for the past 11odd years. I worked as a professional dance for about 10 years and since then have worked as a make-up artist/travel agent/baker, and some others.
Because my friend and I are currently travelling, we are unable to host anyone; but once we are back in the UK we will be opening our doors.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm travelling as much of the planet as possible and I love meeting people. I've stayed in hostels before but I prefer couch-surfing because you get to experience that place from the point of view of a local.

Music, Movies, and Books
Some of my favourite artists are:

Movies range from Enemy at the Gates, Life of PI, Bridget Jones Diary, Star Trek and many others.
Books include Alice in Wonderland, Jane Eyre, but I prefer non-fiction.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I nearly touched a shark whilst snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef; that's by far one of the best moments of my life.
Teach, Learn, Share
I've been learning English sign language on and off for a few years and I pick up languages extremely quickly so I'd love to learn more than the basics.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Both my friend and I are good at cooking and we have a huge range of interests so we're quite sociable people. Because I own a home in the UK I'm also responsible and respectful because I know what a home can mean to a person.
