Hi I'm Imogen, I'm 24 in November and currently living with my Girlfriend (Laura, 27) in Nottingham, England.

I work in a local supermarket as a supervisor and Laura works as a Nature Educational ranger and in a cafe!

We both love animals and I have a rabbit called Moose and Laura has a giant African land snail called Monty!

We are both Vegetarian and enjoy cooking and good food!

We are both super friendly, fun and peace loving people who are excited about making friends all over the world!

At the moment in our current living situation we are unable to accept guests but would love to do so in the future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are on couch surfing as in January 2016 myself, Laura and my cousin, Florin are flying out to Australia for a month and a half and then onwards to New Zealand for about 3 months.
For our time out there travelling we will be looking to find some couch surfing hosts!

And in the future when we return home we will be looking to return the favour and become hosts ourselves!

Interests

I'm a very creative person who enjoys crocheting, knitting, and all sorts of arts and crafts.
Me and Laura both enjoy swimming, walking, yoga and meditation and learning about different cultures.
Laura has a background in zoology and enjoys being outdoors and with nature. Her passion is in wildlife and animals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Laura once had to wrestle with a wild alligator during a wildlife rescue mission. She has also been chased by African wild dogs and various other wild creatures!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I can teach various crafts including knitting, crocheting, origami and ceramics. Laura can teach about bushcraft, foraging and wildlife identification. She also does a bit of Sacred Path (Native American Tarrot) reading.

Learn: we would both love to learn about new culture, local tradions and food, as well as picking up some new permaculture skills. We would also love to learn to scuba dive.

Share: we are happy to share all of our wacky thoughts and all of our food ;)
