I am from London, Uk. I have lived there all my life with my family.

I am currently living and volunteering in El Rodadero neighbourhood of Santa Marta. It is a great place!

I am a kind, genuine and honest person. I am easy going and enjoy meeting new people and exploring different cultures and languages.
I am not messy and respectful of people around me

I have a degree in psychology.
Since graduating I worked in different schools helping as a teaching assistant, and working within special education. This meant that i worked one on one with children who had learning difficulties (physical and emotional) I encouraged their self esteem and helped create an environment comfortable for them to learn as best they can.
After a year and a half or working I saved up some money, took a course that qualified me to teach english abroad as a foreign language and flew out to South America.
It has been 9 months now and i have been to Brasil, Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador and finally Colombia. :)

I have done various volunteer jobs around, and am hoping to find work or an opportunity for me to stay longer in Colombia and learn spanish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet local people and enjoy the place where I am visiting by learning and spending time with people from that country or city.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teaching english in Peru was an amazing experience. I was volunteering for a newly found NGO in the mountains of Arequipa.
