About Me

CURRENTLY ON A TOUR OF THE SOUTH OF FRANCE FROM 10th AUGUST TO 10th SEPTEMBER

*************

I am a 23 yr old MA Student who usually lives in Paris. I love travelling and I'm really trying to improve my French at the moment and get exposure to more native speakers. I am particularly fond of debate and conversation (I'm going to try and remain a student for a long time...). I am very big on cooking and food. Hopefully able to be a great guest!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Its a pleasure to meet new people in new places and discover new cultures and lifestyles. I really prefer to stay with a host or airbnb than go to a hotel.

Interests

Looking round new cities.
I am mainly a city person but I also like properly uninhabited nature like mountains or deserts.
Cooking for others and enjoying new cuisine with others
Discussing or debating big issues of the day philosophy, politics etc. (I'll always be a student in some way!!!)
Coming across new and alternative lifestyles of philosophies of others (coach surfing is ideal for this!)
Listening to others diverse and international life stories.
An occasional really BIG night out :0

Music, Movies, and Books

En ce moment en Français je en train de lire L'Étranger (A. Camus) et après ça je vais commencer à lire Une Saison Blanche et Séché (André Brink)
In English I have just finished ... tbc
Music wise ...tbc

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have driven from Victoria Falls to Nairobi...(not on my own!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I have tutored English before and I'm more than happy to help people with their English or teach them anything else I might know.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Most of all I would like to cook for you and make things easier at home helping out - i.e. being a good guest.

Austria, Belgium, Botswana, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Kenya, Malawi, Netherlands, New Zealand, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe
