CURRENT MISSION

Volunteering my way around the world

ABOUT ME

Hello!

My name is Rachel and I live in the UK. I'm 21 and I've just finished university so I'm travelling around Europe a bit before starting my first proper job in South Africa later this year.

PHILOSOPHY

"Even after all the years,
the Sun never says
to the Earth,
"You owe me."
Look what happens
with a love like that.
It lights the whole sky."
- Hafiz.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I am only a surfer, though I would love to meet up with anyone travelling through this area to give them tips for where to eat, what to see etc. Even if you're not coming to the Midlands/Birmingham, I'd be happy to tell you anything I can about the rest of the UK.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have neither hosted nor surfed yet but I can't wait to get started!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm really interested in both photography and languages, so if you like taking photos or speak anything that isn't English, I'd love to learn something from you. I can speak very, very basic Arabic and sign language so perhaps I can teach a few phrases for fun :)

France, Germany, Morocco, Russian Federation, Spain

United Kingdom
