Currently living in London, nannying part time and trying to make as many friends and side trips in Europe as I can. If I find a place I love enough maybe I'll move here! Since I'm living in a friends flat and it's already crowded I'm unable to accept guests while in London unfortunately.

I love snowboarding, knitting, beer and live music (especially bluegrass :) I've been working as a preschool teacher and nanny for the past seven years.
Not a huge fan of typing and I believe you learn more about a person by seeing what's in their eyes and hearing the way they laugh than 20 pages of typed description could ever convey...so meet up with me!
That being said, Couchsurfing is genius and hands down the best use of our smartphones, so I'm trying to get better at explaining myself via typed message.
But I always check the music section of CS profiles first, just sayin ;)
Looking forward to meeting laid back folks I can laugh with--I'll make you biscuits and bloody Marys for breakfast!
