About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Continue to learn Arabic in Jordan with the aim of working with refugees long-term :)

ABOUT ME

I'm a fun, super caring, responsible, kind person who loves to help people and make people smile :D

I've most recently completed 5 months volunteering in the Calais Jungle refugee camp as an English teacher to the wonderful residents there and plan to continue this work, all going well!

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy and make the most of life, be as positive as possible, do your best to achieve your goals, be a good person and try to help people and the world in any way we can :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Love meeting new people and it helps with my frugal lifestyle.

Couchsurfed in Norway, Ireland, England, Spain, Greece, France, Palestine and Jordan. Met some wonderful people and really enjoyed the experience :)

Oh and btw I can't accept surfers cos I'm either wandering the world or staying with my sister at home and can't offer her place :( but as soon as I have my own place I'll definitely share it with people!

Love, hugs and peace! :D <3
