I'm curious about almost everything and easy-going. I'm interested in other people and the way that they live. I live near Brighton and Lewes in a place where the River Ouse runs into the sea. I'm an Artist and a home-educating single parent, and we love to adventure and explore; learning from the world around us, but also with our noses often stuck in books. I am beginning my journey into Permaculture and hope to live a life that is more than just sustainable, but also thriving and beautiful and fair: another world is possible

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To experience the world based on human interaction rather than exchange of money. Money is cold; connection through conversation is warm...
My home is a warm haven for any female or gender unspecified person travelling solo, or with their child. It's tricky being a single parent. And wonderful to sit around a table and share food and stories...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I attended Armenian Mass in Jerusalem at 5 in the morning (I've always had a thing about Armenia; love 'The Colour of Pomegranates' and 'Armenia" by Einstuerzende Neubauten)...now flights are cheaper, but I've pledged to not fly anymore unless absolutely vital...
