Overview
About Me
I started traveling a lot when I turned 20, in my first year of university—and I haven’t stopped since! I’ve always had a passion for visiting countries that are often misunderstood or misrepresented in Western media, experiencing them for myself, and sharing their real stories with others. Every trip has been a step toward that, and being able to do it now brings me so much joy. Some of my best travel memories have come from these experiences, and I love sharing a slice of life from these places with the world. My ultimate goal is to explore every country!
Languages are another big love of mine—I have a bachelor’s degree in French and Spanish, and I’m currently pursuing a master’s in interpreting and translation. I enjoy connecting with people through language and learning about the world from their perspectives.
I’m excited to meet fellow travelers, share stories, and experience life in a place through the eyes of locals. I love meaningful conversations, discovering hidden gems, and learning about different ways of life!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I’m on Couchsurfing because, while ticking off the “top things to do” in each place is fun, I much prefer connecting with locals and meeting new people. I feel most alive when I’m sharing experiences with others!
I love traveling because it makes me reflect on what it means to be human and shows how similar we really are, despite surface-level differences. For me, meeting locals is at the heart of that—it’s all about the human connections!

Teach, Learn, Share
Teach & Share: I can share parts of my Welsh culture—a country many people don’t know much about! Even though it's part of the UK, we have a strong and unique culture, and even our own language!
I’m also a qualified English as a second language teacher, so I’m always happy to help with that. :)
I also love sharing, discussing, and debating deep topics, as well as my travel experiences!
Learn: I’m eager to learn about local life, traditions, and perspectives—anything that gives a real sense of what it’s like to live somewhere.
