Hi there, my name is Rachel and I live with my house mates Simone and Esme. The house isn't tiny, but it isn't massive. We have a nice outside space for BBQs and relaxing when the weather turns good. We love love wine, though are currently trialling a new batch of home brewed beer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Having experienced so much kindness from strangers abroad it feels only right to host and pass along the good karma.

Music, Movies, and Books

We love reading, everything and anything. Pretty indie-ish on the music front, but struggle to sit still for a full movie.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taught English abroad in Shaoxing, China

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm into arts and crafts so if you fancy learning how to sew I'm game. My language skills are terrible but trying/failing to learn a bit of basic Spanish. Would love to share a meal and cook something new.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A sofa or blow up bed in the lounge, clean bedding/towels, hot showers and a cup of tea.
If you say 'P.S. tea makes the world go round' at the end of your request I'll know you've read all of this and I'm more likely to offer you a place to stay.
