Although I am originally from the UK, I have lived in France for 10 years now, and in Paris for 3. I study geography and economics which is pretty cool because travelling is part of learning geography right ? I love seeing new landscapes, towns, rivers, animals and people !

I have a passion for food (aka if I smell something cooking, I'll want to taste it !). In Paris I tend to eat vegetarian but when I am travelling I think it is a shame to not try the local dishes. I really love cooking, baking and finding good food and drink !

I practice a form of vietnamese martial arts, I never used to be very sporty but since I have been learning to kick, punch, roll and jump I seem to enjoy moving about a lot more. Now I enjoy cycling, running and dancing !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Opening the door to a visitor is opening the door to another part of the world that we may never have known about otherwise.
