About Me

Spreading love and light throughout Europe! After finishing school I have decided to take some time out to experience the world, meet new people and learn languages. In my spare time I love experiencing new cultures through dance, music and films (salsa dance is my favourite!)
Maybe one day I will study philosophy at university - I love having conversations with open minded people about the world around us. I'm also hoping to become a yoga teacher to spread calming vibes with big groups of people. But for now I am just travelling and seeing what each day brings in a new place far from home.
I would love to spend some time with you and share stories and advice - I feel like we can all learn so much when we listen to different points of view.
Just a quote to finish off - 'I need a life that isn't about needing to escape my life' This is what I believe because we only get one chance at life!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking for a more authentic way to travel that allows me to interact with new people and experience a more local way of life. Travel is about embracing everything the world has to offer!

Music, Movies, and Books

Some days its Jazz, Latin Lounge and Salsa Music, other days its electronic/house music (Bonobo, Fourtet) and I could listen to Florence+The Machine every day of the week for the rest of my life
I love French Cinema and the Audrey Hepburn Classics. Films that make me laugh are always a winner

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Making the decision to travel has already proved to be the best thing I've done. With little idea about what I wanted to do in life, I decided to give up my university place in London, leave the city that I've lived in my whole life and embrace the unknown. I worked a full time job for 6 months to get myself here and support my own travels. I am learning so much every day; meeting people with similar mind sets who just want to get the most out of life rather than accepting the traditional route - the University of Life is the best place to be!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to teach you some English! Having learnt other languages myself, I know how difficult it can be, but relaxed conversations with a little bit of grammar and vocabulary learning are the best way to do it.
I would love to do some yoga too in the evenings to calm down after crazy days exploring.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm here to share my stories, language and culture; why I decided to take a break from education, how I learnt to speak different languages, what life is like in cold and rainy England and much more!
