I'm a secondary school teacher of Philosophy,Religion and Ethics but I quit my job (that I love!!) to travel the world for 11 months last year (2015) and it was the best decision I ever made- the world is a preeetty awesome place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I found that Alicante, Spain had a great CS community when I moved out there in 2012 for a year - they made me feel so welcome and comfortable, and I made some great friends I'm still in touch with today.
I've couchsurfed in Spain and India but I've not yet been in the position to offer my home up, fingers crossed for the future!
