Overview
About Me
After volunteering as a teacher for a year in Senegal, West Africa, I'm now at cambridge university but I'm always open to meeting funky new souls on my own, or their, travels.
Apart from studying and exploring the world a bit, I'm also a surf coach and lifeguarded with the RNLI. Sun and sea are a big part of my life but I also love a good hike or a run in the rain - as long as I'm outside I'll be smiling.
Half french, half English.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
The more I can travel and meet fellow travellers the broader my range of connections with other people will be, and that's what life is all about.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Taught a group of Senegalese girls (who are unable to attend school due to family/cultural reasons) how to read and write - toughest but most beautiful thing I've ever had the chance to do.
Teach, Learn, Share
I have spent a year teaching English as a foreign language, I've taught people to surf and lifeguard and I am open to learning just about anything!
What I Can Share with Hosts
