Hi there, my name is Sam!

I'm a Brit currently living in France. I've been spending the last few years enjoying life by working (mostly building) and travelling. (I've done a total of 4 Workaway experiences so far and all of them have gone perfectly!)
I'm a pretty happy person in general, super optimistic and i have a very large imagination!

I went to secondary school and lived in France for 10 years of my life so I'm completely fluent in French as well as English of course. (I have a TEFL certificate to teach English as a foreign language actually!)

I love music and spend a lot of my free time listening to it and creating it on my computer! I'm a big fan of creativity and I'm always so amazed when i learn/see new and inventive things. I also love to skateboard.
I'm pretty extroverted, so meeting new people always makes me happy, especially if they are warm and friendly.

My goal is to travel and work some more.
Then maybe one day i will settle and start studying again. ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet, greet, share experiences with, learn things from, tell stories with, all different people from across the world!
I love to hear new things from travellers or locals. I hope that one day i can host one of you in return!

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a pretty eclectic taste in music so this changes all the time, but right now, i'm enjoying Sigur Ros, Sia and Koan Sound.

I dont read a whole lot, but i got through all of the Harry Potter books!

Hands down my favourite movies are the Lord of the Rings series. (especially the first)
