Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I visit cities I love to meet people who live there- find out what they like, what the city's like, and which places are really worth going to and avoid the tourist traps. I also want to make friends all over the world who I can invite back to Florence, or the UK, or wherever I'm living. And to be able to do that for free is so good it can't be true, but for couchsurfing :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I wrote and put on a musical in Oxford during my final year studying there; it was so much fun and it made me confident that I want to do this forever- composing, particularly for the stage. It broke even which was very fortunate.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach- piano, singing, guitar...
Would love to learn more languages; and more delicious and easy cooking recipes
I can share many interesting stories from my childhood and formative years

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer you my musical skills and buy you nice gifts! Or write you a poem about how great you are. Or console you about the political state of the world since 2016.
