I've just given up my job managing a restaurant in Edinburgh to head north and move into a rural cottage.

I used to run an art-space in the city, where we showed exhibitions and hosted residencies, until the owners reclaimed the property. I spent a lot of time curating other peoples artwork, and am trying to focus more on my own again!

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I'm new to Couchsurfing!

I've joined the site as I'm visiting a pal in Leipzig in July, though I'm spending a couple of days in Berlin first. Would love to meet people to show me around Berlin/potentially host me.

Interessen

I'm interested in artist-run organisations and spaces, as a means to support the production and display of new work, and remain autonomous from larger institutions.

There are incredible places to hill-walk (or "hike") nearby to where I live - I'm incredibly lucky that such amazing places are so accessible!

I'm gluten-free, and love cooking for friends when I have the time!
