About Me

Recently moved to Dresden. Still fairly new here and trying to learn Germany. Originally from the UK and have lived in Berlin for a while before moving here for work. I work full time and try to make the most out of the time I have free. Have recently been in to a lot of vegan baking!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My first experience with couch surfing was when I was in Berlin for a month last summer and I went to a couch surfing event. I was very nervous at first but soon found the community to be so welcoming and I've since made amazing friends for life through couch surfing! After returning to the UK I decided to become a host whilst living in London to meet people from all over the world and share experiences, cultures and fun times together. I believe couchsurfing is a more personal way to get to know a city and form friendships which otherwise, may never happen.

Interests

Cats. I have two mischievous cats (at my family home) whom I miss the most whilst I'm away studying.
I love exploring new places and stumbling across hidden gems. I also enjoy meeting new people and sharing stories and experiences about life in other parts of the world.
I can be a big nerd and spend a lot of time in museums, libraries and exhibitions across the UK. I also love the great outdoors and green spaces to explore when the weather is fine (although the sky is forever grey 🌧️ over the UK!).
I enjoy crafts, diy and gardening too

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing Le joubran trio live. It felt like prayer.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could share my cooking skills (South American food, Indian food, Spanish food) and learn from you too!🍲
I could also teach/practice English/Spanish/German

What I Can Share with Hosts
