About Me

ABOUT ME

Hmmm what can I say. I love meeting people, I am fascinated by people and enjoy great conversation over drinks and food. Absolutely do not take myself too seriously and love to laugh. I am British but live in France and speak French. Not perfect, grammatically correct French (in fact very rarely grammatically correct French) but hey I can hold a conversation in French. Perfect night out involves good friends around a table with food, drinks and oodles of laughter.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others how you would like to be treated..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To step out of my comfort zone in meeting new people. I am somewhat of a shy extrovert.

As a solo traveler, I would appreciate being hosted by someone that can share their tips and knowledge of the city and meet people that I can have really good conversations with.

Interests

Huge music fan. I like most kinds of music as the shuffle function on my ipod demonstrates. Music is a pretty big part of my life.

Love food. Love everything about food - buying it, cooking it, smelling it, reading about it, talking about it and watching shows about it.
