CURRENT MISSION

Co-exist peacefully, keep trying to surf, eat delicious food, be kind and useful every day.

ABOUT ME

I am Libby! I live in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Not London or the South of France, which is what my profile sometimes says.

MY TRAVELS

All over the shop. Mostly Africa and Western Europe but would love to return to Asia one day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've couchsurfed in India, Morocco and the Netherlands, and hosted in the UK. It's always wonderful to meet new people and everyone seems like so much fun so far.

Interests

Philosophy, good food, hiking, parties, gardening etc... I basically like everything I am a little bit good at, except for surfing and ice skating, which I love even though I am totally useless.

I cycle a lot. Usually on my own because I don't have any friends that ever want to come with me...

Feel I can get along and find things in common with everyone. We all have our own story to share.

• dancing
• cooking
• running
• drinking
• board games
• cycling

Music, Movies, and Books

I started listening to French radio a lot. Nova and FIP are my favourites.

I watched Pitch Perfect 2 for about the fourth time when I was hungover yesterday and cried at the end. Who wouldn't.

Favourite books: Handmaid's Tale, Red Tent, Middlesex, Secret History, Americanah, Homegoing... Lots of historical fiction and books by/about women.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sunrise from the highest mountain in Africa.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can solve a rubik's cube pretty fast. I am also weirdly good at ventriloquism. Could someone help me remember how to speak Spanish and Italian?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook and would be delighted to share some of my favourite dishes with both hosts and guests alike.

Countries I’ve Visited

Cuba, India, Laos, Malawi, Tanzania

Countries I’ve Lived In

Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, France, Netherlands, Rwanda, Switzerland, United Kingdom
