Travelling is my favourite thing, although that's hardly surprising to read on this website... I started just after finishing school and have the goal of never letting my age overtake the number of countries I've travelled to.

I've been a high school teacher for a few years but am considering a change of some kind, perhaps teaching English somewhere else in the world.

For quite a few years now I've tried to avoid eating animal stuff, so I'm very interested in discovering the vegan or vegetarian options available everywhere I go. If I'm a surfer at your place I'd love to cook something with or for you. Hummus is never a bad idea!

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

It's one of the greatest websites/apps ever made. Think of the friendships and great experiences that wouldn't exist without it.. I've surfed on a few couches and hosted some people with my friend, and it's always been positive.

Hosting is a little like travelling without leaving your city, and seeing your home in a different way through the eyes of the people you're showing around. Plus you tend to learn a lot from them, so it benefits everyone, not just the person getting a place to stay and a new local friend.

Интересы

I like a variety of sports and long distance hikes. Also more relaxing things like reading, watching movies, good wine and being addicted to various TV series. And planning trips of course.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

I was lucky enough to get into the old American embassy in Tehran, where the events from the film 'Argo' took place. Almost everything has been left as it was in 1979, so it was like travelling back in time to a really important turning point in modern history.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

Teach: I'm an English teacher so I can help out with that, and anything you'd like to know about Australia.

Чем я могу поделиться с хостами

I can help with English if you have any questions, and I'm very happy to (try to) cook something for you.
