About Me

My partner Daniel and I are huge fans of travel and learning about the world and other people. We're initially interested in sharing our home with couch surfers!
I am the manager of a Gymboree Franchise and have been teaching under 5's for all of my adult life (and for quite a while before) and Dan is a piano teacher.
I am 23 years old, and Dan is 25. I'm a chatterbox and he is a thinker but we both love reading, travelling and musing on the world. We are both vegetarians and have two gorgeous cats - Smudge and Bailey who are one year old brothers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We want to meet new people and see what happens when you open yourself up the the world. So initially we want to share our home in Westminster with other couch surfers to build friendships with people and links with people all over the world.
We would like to meet like-minded people!

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

I love modern folk music, indie and anything calm I can listen to in the bath.
Dan loves classical music, and we both enjoy the occasional pop-tunes too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have written several plays and am working on a novel.
Dan has climbed Kilimanjaro.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a trained milliner, an early years specialist and facilitator and a writer.
Dan is a musician and teacher so we both have lots of skills in those areas to share.
We're interested in improving our languages (Spanish and french for me, French for Dan) and especially learning about other peoples experience of green and thrifty living!
