These are always so awkward and self-indulgent to write but here we go:
I grew up in Guildford in England, went to uni in Liverpool (where I studied French and Egyptology), spent a year living in Paris and now I live in Rouen. This is the first time in my life when I have had adequate means to travel around independently so I am trying my best to make the most of it!
This is a horrible cliché but I would consider myself to be a real people person; I love to talk to and get to know new people and I don't embarrass easily. I really love to laugh and greatly appreciate a bit of banter and mischief.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet the locals and see what's what wherever that may be! I will hopefully make some fun new friends along this exciting new journey of couchsurfing.

Interests

I would say my greatest passion is music: playing it (I like to sing and play a bit of piano/keyboard), listening to it (I usually listen to at least 3-4 hours of music a day) and seeing it live whenever I can.
I also really enjoy films [old and new], art (going to have a look at it and sometimes doing it myself), eating and snacking. I hope one day I will be able to say that a firm hobby of mine is segway-ing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Billy Connolly once replied to one of my tweets which was pretty cool

Also playing live at La Fête de la Musique in Paris in June 2014 was a real dream come true

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make a variety of tasty pasta dishes, as well as many mince-related recipes (which are nicer than they sound).
I can also teach you English, as that is my job, and maybe even a bit of French if you play your cards right
