About Me

I am a bubbly, outgoing Londoner that loves to travel and experience new cultures and countries. I have a particular passion for Latin America and the Spanish speaking world and am trying to become fluent in Spanish, with plans to move to Spain in the near future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing to have a different experience - I love staying with or meeting locals and trying to get under the skin of a country. I like to try and avoid being a gringa everywhere I go. I am pretty new to Couchsurfing, but thought it was time to give it a go!

Interests

I love dancing, particularly bellydancing, salsa and samba. I scuba dive and relish every opportunity I get to improve my Spanish!

  • dancing
  • cooking
  • traveling
  • scuba diving
  • law

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading and have a guilty pleasure for most Latin music, particularly reggaeton and bachata!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I set up a pro bono society for school children to teach them about their legal rights with respect to topics that interested them and were relevant, e.g. knife crime.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to use Couchsurfing to improve my language skills, meet new people and make new friends.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my English language skills and my company with hosts. I am happy to help with cooking and am always up for dancing (including giving dancing lessons)!
