I'm Lucy - my job is welcoming international students to my wonderful hometown - Newcastle upon Tyne in the North East of England! I've been an English teacher for the last couple of years until I started helping students coming to the city with general orientation, finding a long-term place to live, and getting involved in the local culture and community! I've been living in France and I'm now back home in the UK with my partner and my friendly dog. I mainly travel to eat (veggie and vegan friendly!) and I LOVE Asian food. I'm also into a (very) broad range of music, and being outside whenever possible. I love to hear about people's travels and find common places we've visited. Right now, I'm trying to improve my Spanish. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet people from other countries and cities and share my city with them, and I believe that in staying with locals, you see a different, unique side to the city!
