ABOUT ME

Hi, my name is Zoe, I'm from Nottingham, UK. I began couch surfing when I spent two months travelling around Italy, where I had the best times and most wonderful experiences with my hosts and their friends! a year later I spent 4 months travelling around Europe, finally settling down in Verona, Italy, where I am now, teaching English. I'm a responsible, reliable, clean and tidy person and I'm really keen to experience different cultures, meet new people, share some great times and have FUN! I really believe that meeting you lovely, local people adds so much to a place, that a person can't really know a place without knowing the people who live there and that's why I love CS so much.
I love love love music, singing and dancing - though I'm not very good at either. I love animals - I have two dogs. I try to cycle, walk or run as much as possible, to work and with my dogs. I've recently fallen in love with the mountains! I really like long walks/hikes with views and I've just come back from trying skiing for the first time in cavalese. Loved it! I would really like to spend more time with people who share my passion for nature and adventure. I like all alcohol - I'm English, and drinking it with new friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I have surfed a lot and hosted a few times

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

I'm into reading. Stephen king and Jane Austin are two of my favourite novelists.
I LOVE food, I really love trying new food and I'm not a fussy eater

Since beginning to host I've received a lot of requests, and it seems that many people haven't read my profile. So if you'd like to stay with me (and my dogs), please put in your request "Irish setters are the best dogs ever", and let me know you're okay with being around dogs - you can see more details in the room description. Otherwise I probably won't reply to you - unless you're Henry Cavill
