I'm currently working as a teaching assistant in a special educational needs college in Brighton, I studied at university here and loved it so much that I couldn't leave. It's a beautiful culturally vibrant city, with a great atmosphere, plus it's so close to London. I enjoy going to gigs, the theatre, walking, rock climbing, yoga, swimming in the sea, reading, writing and going out with friends, amongst other things!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been lucky enough to travel a lot, but I want to do more. The thing I love most about travelling is meeting new people, so couch surfing is the perfect for me. Working in a low wage job makes travelling trickier, so I want to couch surf for practical reasons too.
