I’m a sensitive but adventurous soul. I love telling stories (and listening to other people tell them, sometimes even in a language I don’t understand.)
A homebody at heart, but I also love outdoor activities.
Music moves me, both literally and figuratively.
I have some dietary restrictions, but at the same time I love trying new foods and new cuisines, and cooking and eating old favorites, especially in good company.
Not enough room to write everything about myself here, but I’m very open, so feel free to ask me whatever you’d like 😊

Also, I haven't yet used the platform, so I don't have any reviews or references, but if you want to see what people I have stayed with have written about me, you can check out my Airbnb profile: https://www.airbnb.co.uk/users/show/202067657

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel but I can’t always afford to stay in hotels or Airbnbs. I love meeting new people, learning about their culture and their place of residence, and sharing my experiences with them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved to Spain on my own at the age of 34 without knowing anyone who lived there and without speaking the language.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: The languages I speak, cooking, baking, how to clean really thoroughly, drawing, yoga
Learn: anything, really! New recipes, new languages, songs, hobbies, sports

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my stories with them (I have lots of good ones!) and show them how to make shakshuka, hummus, and space cookies! 😁
