Hi my name is Kim, I'm Irish and French and I work as a language teacher. I really enjoy sharing experiences and learning new languages. I love traveling and meeting travelers, and I like to help whenever I can. I also love cooking, playing music discovering new things, talking about culture, art or just about anything !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people and sharing with everyone. I really enjoy being helpful whenever I can and since I love travelling, I want to be a good host and guide to people visiting my city.

I'm going to Iran for a few months to continue learning the language. I think being hosted by someone would be a great way to meet people to talk with and discover the country.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to many types of music and I'm always interested to discover more. From jazz to hip-hop to traditional music, electronic, latino... I've started listening to some iranian music and want to discover more :) I like to make music that mixes genres and gets influenced by every style.
I like every kind of movies and I think comedies are the best to watch with people.
For example, movies by Tarantino or Nolan, La haine, Snatch, in Bruges. Today I discovered the series "Baskets" with Zach Galifianakis, it's really funny.
I also enjoy reading as I studied English Literature. At the moment I'm reading "l'usage du monde" by Nicolas Bouvier, about a trip made by car in the 50's, I really recommend it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I stayed in South America for 9 months, during which I taught in a primary school for six months in Peru, and I also worked as an interpreter in an excursion to the lost city through the jungle. Both these experiences were great!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a teacher and I love to share, about culture, languages (my mother tongues are English and French) I can teach some recipes too, or how to play the bass guitar :)
