New to Couchsurfing, but already love the friendliness of it!

I am starting a 3 month sabbatical spending some time in various places in the USA. Looking forward (like most people on here!) to meeting new people, having new experiences and doing a lot of laughing along the way.

Hmmm, other things about me...I'm a Londoner born and bred, love walking in green fields, stand up comedy, swimming, jazz, finding out people's stories and the UK's number 1 delicacy: Marmite.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Having decided to up and leave my job for a bit, I was keen to meet new people and get new perspectives on things. And what better way to do that than this fab community.

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wow, this is difficult. I did a cycle across the UK having never really done much cycling...that was hard rather than amazing.

I think heading off on this trip is up there....

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm doing some research into end of life care as part of my job so can definitely share what I've found so far (although realise it's not everyone's cup of tea so it doesn't have to be a topic of conversation!) Can definitely share any top tips on visiting London, and have swum in clubs for years so happy to give a swimming lesson if anyone is keen.
