About Me

I'm a teacher and I am mad about language learning. Currently I speak 5 and I'm always keen to learn more. I've spent the past two years teaching English in Spain and I'm about to begin a Business Masters in Ireland come September.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want a travel experience that allows me to interact with locals, not just fall into the same tourist traps. I've spent time living in Germany, France, Spain, Ireland and England and as such I'm culturally very open minded and a great conversationalist. I am lucky to have friends living all over the world and I'm keen to expand my network and ensure this will always be the case in the future.

Interests

I love horses, music, language learning, debate, great conversation, wine, dancing and wine. Did I say wine already?
