About Me

Hello!
I'm planning some solo travel around Europe before studying abroad in England in October 2016.

I'm easy going, love to laugh and have discussions about culture and language.
I'm studying English and Linguistics at university, so the more you tell me about your language the more I'll love it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd love to experience what it's like to have a seasoned local inform some of my travel plans, and would feel safer staying with another female or a family than in hostels.

Interests

My main interests are cultures, languages and theatre.
Currently I am studying the effect English has had on people's identity.
I also really enjoy theatre and have acted in a few amateur productions.
