Hey I'm Sarah and I'm 21. I love learning about anything and gaining new skills, especially languages. I'm currently studying French and Russian at uni in the UK. I live in between France and England but am always looking for travel opportunities in the holidays especially to improve my language skills. This summer (2024) I would love to mainly stay in Russian-speaking countries !
I'm a musician (singer + guitar) and love performing. Music has helped me find some great adventures along the way like getting a weekly spot at an Irish pub in Tallinn and working in a record shop in Montpellier. If you're a musician too I'd love to chat about what you like to listen to/ have a jam.
I just love the outdoors and going off the grid. There is nothing better than the sound of rain on a tent when you know you're the only one for miles around. I am really into cold water swimming and saunas !
I love meeting new people and listening to their stories and perspectives, even though I can be a bit shy at first. Anything creative/ experimental I'm up for. Recently I've started taking pottery lessons and really want to get better and learn more about ceramics.
Just up for a bit of laugh really.Interests

I spent about two months hitchhiking round Iceland in 2021 and absolutely fell in love with the place. I ended up volunteering at a festival in the east for a bit before wild camping around the fjords. I did some photography for a tour company whilst I was there as well as writing songs with some other musicians.
I did some beekeeping last summer (2023) in France and found the world of bees so fascinating! I definitely learnt a lot of skills including making bee frames and maintaining hives.
I think I'm creative and love inventing things. I usually get over invested in crazy projects so I would love to contribute to a big art project. I have a bit of experience working with artists and musicians here and there in Iceland and Sweden.
However, I'd really like to try new things and learn different skills if possible. I don't really have any experience doing construction or decorating but I'm keen to do stuff like that because I like getting my hands dirty and doing practical work. I've done a lot of maths and physics at school, and I think very logically but I want to be able to fix things and put that knowledge to good use. I would love to learn how to sail as well!
I've always loved being outside and every year I go camping, hiking and kayaking with my dad in France.Age
