Hi there!

I'm Issie, I have been really lucky to experience some great places in the world and wouldn't mind seeing some more! I love connecting with new interesting people and I'm to chat to. I'd love to be able to try out some solo travelling over the next year and couch surfing seems like a great way to try it:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning especially about art, history, music and literature, tell me what the culture in your country is like! I'm a keen photographer, I have a lot of experience with film and digital so if you need a hand with taking photos I'm your gal! Currently learning how to throw clay on the wheel, would love to be able to do some throwing in other countries. I also have basic skills in drawing, print and design:)

I'm interested in talking about feminism, politics and the power of protest. I have a few house plants, so if you need a hand with that I'd be happy to help!

I like to try and learn a bit of a language of a country I'm visiting, I know basic French and German with a few Dutch words too! I play a couple of instruments so its always nice being able to share music with others. I'm also vegan so I can give my best shot at cooking for you, I make a great banana bread:)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd be happy to help people learn English and show them what British culture is like. Sharing and giving advice:)
