About Me

Love life and try to make the most of everyday!
I'm positive, happy, fun, smiley and love to make others smile! Worked in the fashion industry for 7 years then took a break to travel, meet people, get fresh inspiration and figure out some new projects for the future. Back in the UK for now, but hoping to start a Masters of Teaching in Melbourne next year as I want to inspire people and have a more meaningful career.
Also love to dance til I can't stand anymore!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love meeting new people while travelling and sharing stories and experiences and getting tips from locals or fellow travellers.
I'm not in a position to be able to host at the moment but when I settle and can call a place home I would like to return the favour!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Did a 10 day hike up a glacier in the Tian Shan mountains of Kyrgyzstan - it was incredible!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love languages - my life aim is to speak 5 fluently, and if I can achieve that I'd love to add a couple more! I'm more than happy to teach or share what I do know and learn more!
I can also share what I know about art, knitting, sewing and can cook a few chinese dishes pretty well (though it will never taste as good as when my mum makes them!) I also love cakes so would definitely be happy to bake and share some yummy treats!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation, lots of smiles and maybe an authentic cantonese meal or a cake/apple crumble/any sweet treat!!
