I've just completed a TEFL qualification, and have decided to spend a couple of years teaching and travelling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend hosted an Italian girl a few years back, and it sounded like a great scheme, so I signed up. I've been moving around the UK doing voluntary projects since then, so haven't been able to host, but would love to do so in the future.

What I Can Share with Hosts
