About Me

Currently working as an English teacher in the UK, love to travel and meet new people and embrace new experiences! Have lived in Hong Kong for two years teaching English and also lived in France, Montpellier for one year as a study exchange so I speak French, and I'm now back home finishing my training to become a teacher in the UK.
Very easy-going, friendly and fun :) Always happy to meet new people and learn about and respect new cultures. I'm also learning Spanish and want to improve my languages by meeting and sharing with locals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and locals who would be happy to share their cultural knowledge, and in turn for me to share with them.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite book: One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, the Lord of the Rings
Favourite movie: Magnolia (or anything by PT Anderson)
Favourite music: anything and everything, folk and reggae to hip/hop and house

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once swam to a church on an island in the middle of Lake Bled, was a pretty exhausting swim but worth it in the end

I enjoy hiking and getting out of the city sometimes, and have hiked some nice places across Europe and Asia. I'm also into trail running and love going places with good running trails to explore.

Ask me when we meet :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Can help anyone with English or French if they want a language partner or to just practice more. I love to cook (I'm vegetarian but not that strict all the time) and would love to learn new recipes and try new foods. I'll happily share my music tastes with you and would love to discover new music or bands, or any good local books and authors to read. And if anyone's interested in gardening I have my own little garden in the UK which I love to take care of and would love to share my knowledge on.
