ABOUT ME

In a nutshell - An insatiable fascination with languages lead me to complete an Honours degree in Linguistics. Before more postgrad, I decided to pack my bags and head....well anywhere and everywhere.

I love to learn about other cultures and languages! The best parts of travelling for me are the quirky people you meet along the way, the random acts of kindness that restore your faith in humanity and that exhilarating/horrifying feeling of 'How the f*** did I get here?"

PHILOSOPHY

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
― Oscar Wilde

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just got to Tanger for the summer and keen to meet new people and master French and Darija as quickly as possible - am in dire need of both, ha

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have been put in touch with the most amazing people throughout my travels through CS!

I really value & enjoy the independence of travelling alone but also love the fact that awesome company is just a message away through CS when I feel like mingling. Best of both worlds :D

Interests

Salsa (new hobby for the year), dress making, walking (my ultimate daydreaming activity - El Camino de Santiago is definitely on my bucket list), genealogy, zombie films, sloths, art nouveau and all things bizarre and quirky.
