I'm a fun, friendly, outgoing and open-minded person who will try anything once!
27-year-old English girl who spent 3 years teaching English in France, Luxembourg and Spain after graduating from University with a degree in French and German. Spent 7 months backpacking around South and Central America and the Caribbean with my best friend before moving to The States to work as an Au Pair!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I have had fantastic experiences and met a number of amazing people through couchsurfing. I was dubious before but after 7 months of sleeping on floors, sofas, air mattresses and beds I'm definitely a convert! Without couchsurfing I would not have been able to see as much of the world as I have, I would not have had the pleasure of meeting the array of people that I have and I would have missed out on a number of experiences which were brought to my attention by couch surfers who know their area so well. I hope to be able to give back even a little of what I have gained once I have settled somewhere and have my own house.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I can't choose just one!

I taught 100 people who didn't speak English how to dance the Hokey Cokey on a volunteering trip to India in 2007.

I went paragliding in Medellin, Colombia in February 2015! (I finished feeling very green!!)

I completed the Death Road on a bicycle in La Paz, Bolivia in December 2014 (terrifying experience!)

I backpacked through 18 countries in 7 months on a budget of £5,000/$8,000 and spent 24/7 with my best friend: we didn't argue once! (That last part is probably the most amazing thing!)
