Hi! I'm currently in Norway where I've been setting up a farm museum near Lillehammer. Before that I worked in a boarding school near London. Other places I've worked include a llama farm, an old monastery, a Law school, a cathedral, a village hall, a brownie van and a kitchen shop.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I'm about to go back to uni this September to start my masters in Urban Planning. Between now and then I have a pretty epic summer planned, so couch surfing is definitely on the cards! Come September I hope to be able to return the favour and start hosting couchsurfers in sunny Sheffield.
