About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See more of the world and learn new languages!!

ABOUT ME

Hi!! I've been traveling the world pretty much from birth, due to my father's occupation, and have lived in 11 countries so far (I think I'm addicted to traveling, like most ppl on CS, it seems!).. I'm not sure how many I've visited but I've been living in Europe for the past 13 yrs so probably a lot! My passion is learning languages because I believe there's no reason a language barrier should impede getting to know amazing people and experience different cultures!

I've been living/working at a backpackers' hostel in Marseille for the past year, as well as my 'official' work teaching English in primary schools there, and my contract ended in late April so I've been bouncing around London, Spain and Scotland, staying with friends, camping and traveling.. I love to meet fellow travelers because it's great knowing you're not the only weirdo who prefers a backpack to a so-called 'normal' life!

PHILOSOPHY

“One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a couchsurfing novice and haven't surfed or hosted before but my sister had great experiences with CSing.. I'm hoping to find friendly people who'll let me stay for a night or two around the Liguria/Tuscany area, while I make my way down to Castiglioncello to visit family and eventually Rome to look for work and learn Italian! :)

Interests

Languages, playing guitar, sun, beach, surfing, camping with cool people, bumming around big cities, music festivals, electronic music (especially MINIMAL!)
