CURRENT MISSION
Teacher in Montreal.

ABOUT ME

British/Filipino. Spent childhood in Tonga, then got educated in the U.K. Taught French in schools and now teach English in Montreal.

I like exploring, sleeping, singing and just laughing in general is all good.

Things I tend to talk about a lot:

- You! (I'm a nosey one)
- FOOD. It's on my mind 70% of the time.
- Linguistic tid bits of information (esp. francophone!)
- How cold I am
- literature and film! (Who doesn't)
- TV series and films
- travelling and cultural
- current affairs in general
- empowering women!

Like most people I have a lot of random interests and if you put my ipod on shuffle you would probably get a headache.

I've lived in France, Tonga and Quebec. I'm not nearly done.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone, everything, everywhere deserves some appreciation somehow. - Mary M, about a minute and a half ago.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been to couchsurfing meetings in Paris and have been hosted a couple of times. I hosted in Manchester too!

Once I get my own place I will host again!

Interests

I love meeting different people all the time and finding out about other cultures and languages. Like a lot of people, I also enjoy going to the cinema and going to music gigs.
