Overview
About Me
I'm a passionate, creative and open minded person who knows how to enjoy life. I love reading, writing, cinema, food, partying and of course people! I grew up in the mountains of North Wales and have spent time living in Norwich and London, so have very different environments that I call home...I'm just as comfortable chilling in nature as I am exploring busy streets. For me, life is about connecting with others and welcoming new experiences. It's all a big adventure!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I joined the site last year when I was traveling through South America and it was a great way to spend my last couple of weeks in Buenos Aires. I love meeting new people and have tried to really 'live' in each place I've visited, mostly through work exchange. I'm naturally very social and also very domestic (cleaning and cooking!)
Now I am on my travels around Greece, and Spain later this year, so would like to carry on my positive couchsurfing experiences and continue to connect with new environments.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
My trip to South America - travelling alone for six months, getting my bag stolen in Peru which caused a lot of trouble (passport, cards, everything) it gave me a lot of strength- knowing I can deal with that AND still have the most amazing adventure.
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach English. Learn Spanish. Share food..!!
What I Can Share with Hosts
I'm very clean and tidy and I love cooking (mostly healthy, vegetarian, but I eat everything!) I want to start teaching English and I have a TEFL certificate, so would be more than happy to give some casual lessons/help with language practice. I'm always up for a good time as well!
