ABOUT ME

I'm a British woman, originally from Manchester, England, but at the moment I am living in China and working for my own small proofreading company.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've only hosted a few times, but I hope to do it much more.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love couch surfing, I've lived in a few different places and it's always been something really helpful. Although I haven't hosted much, the groups and forums on couch surfing have helped me meet new people and get advice. I don't know how I would travel without it :)

Interests

I learnt to snowboard a few years ago when I first moved to Poland, and now I look forward to winter so I can go again. In the summer I like walking in the mountains and generally being outside.

Of course, like everyone on couch surfing, I love to travel and I love to meet new people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love almost all marvel comics films :) I'm not really so into films but I can watch X-men 2 over and over!

I love loads of books, 'The Beach' by Alex Garland is my favourite. I also read 'War and Peace' once, I would never read it again but I think it's my second favourite (I skipped all the war bits though, I only liked the peace bits)

I'm terrible with musical genres but I like music with guitars and drums. I think this spans a few. I'm really interested in listening to other people's favourite songs, sometimes you can learn a lot.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've spent a lot of time in Iceland, working as a nature conservation volunteer. I can't pick a single moment, but I had really amazing experiences during this time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love knitting!! I will teach anybody who wishes to learn this fine craft.

I've been trying to juggle for most of my adult life. I still can't do it. If anyone can find the switch in my brain that is preventing me from learning I will be eternally grateful.
