CURRENT MISSION To find the means to travel! ABOUT ME I'm a newly-graduated school teacher in her early twenties who tries to live life to the fullest. I'm usually optimistic, patient to a fault, open-minded, a little hyper (okay, maybe more than a little), and willing to try almost anything once. PHILOSOPHY I believe that we are here to do our best to improve at least our little corner of the world, to brighten people's days whenever possible. Basically, I live to connect with other people.
Interested in Concerts
Interested in Cooking
Fluent in English

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING As a surfer: I will be very interested in your life and your culture and everything about where you live that you can tell me. I like learning about the hidden things that only locals would know! I can help cook meals, or even cook a meal for you, and lend my voice to any possible jam sessions... COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I've had three experiences so far; in Lyon, Vienna and Prague. All were great in their own way :)
Music, Movies, and Books
Movies: British Gangster movies, James Bond, War Movies, but pretty much anything apart from really cheesy chick flicks or really offensive comedies. Music: I like almost all music, but my favourites would have to be jazz (Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong), classic rock (Beatles, Zeppelin, the Band etc), and various combos of indie-rock-folk. Florence Welch and Adele are my favourite female singers of the moment. Books: I love fantasy, historical fiction, Charlotte Bronte, Jane Austen, Carol Shields, Margaret Atwood, Philip Pullman, Janet Fitch, Ian Rankin....
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I've sung mass with my choir at Notre Dame Cathedral, I've been on a completely white beach in the Whitsunday Islands of Australia I've moved 8000km away from home to be a language assistant in rural France ....hope to add far more to this list!
