About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn more about myself, and the world!

ABOUT ME

My favourite compliment a friend has given me is "You have light in every smile". I'm smart, I'm friendly, I'm kind. I'm a 28-year-old from England, who runs an improvised comedy theatre company here in Barcelona. I also teach English (so I can speak clearly and simply in English if your English isn't great), and I run flashmobs in Barcelona through a group called "Good Vibrations". I love a good hug, I love learning new things in different languages and cultures. Oh! And I have a loud laugh!

PHILOSOPHY

Hmmmm.... I believe that laughter CAN be medicine, that talking things through and being honest is always the best path, and that HUGS can change a day, a week, a life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've never couch-surfed yet, but I used to back-pack a lot, and I've travelled round Europe and Japan a bit. I sometimes host people at

Interests

I love improvised comedy. I run an improvised comedy group in Barcelona. When I'm at home, I play video games and read books, but when I go out I'm loud and fun-loving. I like bars not clubs, and cafés more than restaurants.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Organising my first ever flashmob was pretty amazing. It was about Free Hugs in Plaza Catalunya, Barcelona, and sharing a connection with a stranger was a pretty special moment.
One of the most amazing days of my life was when I was travelling Japan. I spent the morning visiting the Hiroshima War Memorial Museum, the afternoon exploring Miyajima island, and the evening eating okonomiyaki. Three experiences I will never forget in one big day.
