About Me

Born in London, I moved to the South of France with my parents when I was 11. I learnt French very quickly and after a bout of Erasmus in Malaga i now speak fluent Spanish too.
I spent a sabbatical year travelling around the world (China, South America, Europe) at the age of 18.
I am far from shy (not in a bad way don't worry), talkative and very interested by foreign cultures and lifestyles.

I now live in Barcelona and am working as an international event planner. I work on projects such as Festival de Cannes, Roland Garros Tennis Tournament.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, the concept of CS is the best way to actually meet people from the place you are staying at. I am always travelling for work (France, Italy, France, Germany, Cape Town....) and stay in hotels but I always feel like my visit of the city in incomplete due to not meeting any locals. Hotel rooms are boring and you can feel left out of the city if you know no one...
