ABOUT ME

I live in London where I spend my time teaching English, learning languages and belly dancing. A lot of belly dancing.

PHILOSOPHY

Woah...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed in Poland and France. I used to host in Italy, but don't currently have the right set up to host in London :/

Interests

Like most people with a brain and a heart I love music and films. I'm the kind of person who runs out of the room with her fingers in her ears when people are discussing a film she hasn't seen.

I'm a bit of a nomad and I really love travelling, experiencing new cultures and learning languages (although I should study harder at this!!)

And DANCE. Specifically Belly Dance. More specifically Tribal Belly Dance. I am a bit obsessed.
