I was a 19 year old student who decided after a year that it could wait. Got a job as an au pair and have been living in Switzerland and travelling regularly. I'm an easy going and helpful guest who will be happy to help and eager to learn anything you have to offer.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Looking for a cheaper and more authentic way of travelling. I have loved the whole concept of couchsurfing for a long time but until recently I have had neither the balls to do it nor the right opportunity and company.

Centres d'intérêt

Impossible to name them all. But of things that have a name I love roller skating, I've played roller derby in a few countries it's a fabulous sport and I will convince anyone who will listen to give it a try. I love reading I am currently working my way through a double sided list longer than my arm. Of things without a name... I'm fascinated by people. I live to listen to what people find important and learn to see the world through their own eyes, which more often than not is more fascinating than any novel I have yet to read.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

I tend to say whichever book/movie/song I listened to last was my favourite (Mr Morris Changes Trains/ Wild/ Blind man in Amsterdam) my favourite authors are the Fitzgeralds and I sorely miss my battered copies that I have left back home. I love any movie that can make me laugh, cry or dance. (Same goes for music)

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I can offer an open ear. I'm a fabulous listener (of you don't mind me saying so) So I would love to hear about anything you have to offer. I'm also painfully polite and will help you out with anything you should need :)
