ABOUT ME

I am a 26 year-old teacher of French and Spanish living in London. I studied French and philosophy at university after which I lived in Paris for 1 year before moving to London. I love sport, especially tennis and I enjoy good films (favourite film, the Godfather) and music (i like loads of different types of music. At the moment I'm enjoying listening to The National and I love Arcade Fire and Radiohead, plus some older stuff like Pink Floyd). I'll be on travelling around Spain this summer hoping to meet some cool people, share some great experiences aswell as (hopefully) improving my Spanish!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love languages so meeting people from different countries/cultures is always a bonus. I also love travelling and becoming part of a community of like-minded people is something that really appeals to me. I see couch-surfers as another way of meeting people when I'm travelling, getting some local knowledge on things to do and see and of course, saving a bit of money on accomodation! i would be happy to return the favour and help people out with a place to stay and am always happy to play host to people I have met who find themsleves in London and would be similarly happy to do so for members of the couch-surfing community.

Interests

I love playing and watching sport. the sport I play most is tennis but am always ready to try my hand at anything! I like watching all sorts of different films. My favourite TV series are The Wire, The Simpsons, The Sopranos and Breaking Bad. I love music of all kinds from hip-hop to rock, to Jazz to whatever. Even a good pop tune if I'm in the right mood! I also enjoy learning languages and discovering new cultures through travel, meeting new people and discovering foreign language film and music.
