I just finished my undergraduate degree in English Literature. Right now I'm doing a gap year in Paris, teaching English as a second language. I love travelling, reading and writing fiction.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It seems like a fantastic way to meet new people and get to see more than just the tourist attractions when I travel. I really want to get a glimpse of the unique culture of each place I visit
