About Me

Hey everyone. Just to let you know I am away until the beginning of September so can only host after then!

Life is about being as happy as possible and trying to make those around me happy too! So, I can mostly be found with a smile on my face and getting excited about something around me: food, music, a book, people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I adore travelling and I love people! Meeting people from the places I end up is always the best part of any trip!

I am about to go on my second hitch-hiking adventure - so what better way to meet some awesome people and find little local gems wherever we go!

Interests

I can get enthusiastic about pretty much anything! I love exploring and being outdoors. I especially love the sea (and surfing - although I am a perpetual beginner!)

I love reading and writing, the theatre, live music, art and passionate discussions!

Most of all - I just love to laugh, and to learn as many new things I can along the way!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a teacher at a secondary school in England - so I can teach English!

I am learning French - so I am always keen to improve that, and the same goes for my surfing!

But I am really keen to learn and share as much as I possibly can!!
