CURRENT MISSION

Learning about new languages, people and cultures.

ABOUT ME

Now that I have (finally!!) finished my studies, I really want to travel this incredible Earth of ours and meet as many interesting people as possible.

I enjoy volunteer work, and every summer I try to travel to Caux (in the Swiss mountains) to work as a volunteer interpreter for Initiatives of Change. Doing this has really broadened my horizons, and enabled me to meet a whole host of inspiring individuals.

PHILOSOPHY

A rolling stone gathers no moss.

Treat others the way you would expect to be treated.

Do something nice for someone every day, from a gesture as small as smiling at someone on a bus, and you'll be a happier person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I don't have much time to host, but would love to meet people with similar interests. I would be more than happy to show people around Toulouse :)

I would love to start surfing and discovering new places.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed twice, and had great experiences both times. This project really restores faith in humanity, and proves that people can be really selfless and kind.

Interests

Drama: favourite playwright ever has to be Edward Albee.

I'm an avid reader, and always have a book in my bag.

I enjoy swimming and dancing.

Since purchasing my lovely red bike this year, I have also recently got into cycling.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books I love: The Life of Pi, L'étranger, Mémoire Blessé, The Millenium trilogy, Beloved...

My music taste is centred around (ahem) 90s brit pop, do I really need to elaborate?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At the IofC conference in Caux, I met a Kenyan lawyer who had given up his successful firm for a year in order to ensure 'clean' elections in his country. He was one of the most inspiring people I've ever met.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have started to learn Spanish- any teachers?

For any would-be translators out there, a good place to gain some experience and contribute to a great cause is by volunteering with Translators without Borders.
