I'm Katie and I'm on a gap year. I'm an open-minded, up for anything kind of person. Young but mature, intelligent but not serious!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet up with travellers and locals in my new home in London and to take trips away whenever I can!

Unfortunately I can't host at the moment as I live with my parents and will be living in university accomodation from September :(

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In January I completed a course in teaching English as a foreign language and now hold the Cambridge CELTA qualification at 19 years of age. I guess I'm pretty damn proud of that.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always trying to improve my French so I would love to practise with other couchsurfers. I can teach English or just provide conversation (I'm a qualified teacher - Cambridge CELTA)

I can also share my undying love for horses and a keen interest in horse psychology.

Music - singing round a campfire with a ukulele, going to a rock concert, forming a classical string quartet...the choice is yours :)

And of course, open-mindedness.
