About Me

Currently working as an event and project manager for a small charity start up. Work takes up a lot of my time but when i'm not there I like to go out for dinner and drinks with friends, see a show or some live music. I asked my best friend to describe me in three words and she said; loyal, caring and free spirited, which I would agree with!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Having benefitted from being hosted I want to return the favour.

Interests

I love nature and exploring the outdoors, especially hiking or cycling. Having grown up in London I also love city life; music concerts, theatre, drinking with friends or going out dancing.

I'm also a vegetarian, but not the militant kind.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music of all genres and some of my friends think I know the lyrics to every song ever written (this is not true but I do know a lot).

I studied film at University and going to the cinema is one of my favourite things to do. My favourite directors are Wes Anderson, Coen Brothers and David Fincher.

I love to read but usually only find time when I'm on holiday. I hope the long train ride will give me an opportunity to catch up on some books. Books I've enjoyed recently include 'Wild' by Cheryl Strayed, 'How to build a girl' by Caitlin Moran and 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time' by Mark Haddon.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once climbed the three highest mountain peaks in England, Scotland and Wales in 24 hours for charity.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a qualified ESL teacher so happy to help with any English language questions.

I also love to crochet and enjoy sharing this with others.
