Overview
About Me
33 year old who loves anything creative. I have recently moved to the Calder Valley to be closer to the countryside as I love nature and being outdoors. Love being sociable and making friends, learning about new cultures and sharing fun skills. I dabble in circus performance and enjoy making costumes and festival outfits in my spare time.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love meeting like-minded and/or fascinating people and I love hosting and sharing my space with others too. I am eager to learn more about the world and am always open to new experiences. Not currently emotionally available but I absolutely love developing new connections and finding new people to bond with.
Interests
Sewing, cooking, music, festivals, circus performance, anything crafty really. I have a lot of hobbies and would prefer to be busy doing something fun than to sit and watch tv. Having said that, I do also love watching good films and relaxing. I have also recently got into reading again and am currently going through books at a pretty quick rate!
I love everything to do with the outdoors, be it climbing, hill walking, wild swimming or just going for a picnic in the hills. Camping is definitely one of my favourite past times (no matter the weather) - I love having the freedom of sleeping in a tent and being able to experience the beauty of the world in it's natural state.
If it's adventurous and fun, I'm up for it.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music: Hip-hop, garage, bass music, indie soul are what I'd usually lean towards. I am pretty open with other genres though. Happy to give anything a go!
Movies: Horror, thrillers, documentaries. I'm not a rom-com kinda gal.
Books: Probably easiest to put my recently read:
Come as You Are - Emily Nagoski
Underland - Robert Macfarlane
Chasing the Scream - Johann Hari (favorite author!)
The Chimp Paradox - Steve Peters
How to Change your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelic Teaches Us About... - Michael Pollan

What I Can Share with Hosts
I have a country farm style house with a spare bedroom and corner sofa I'd be happy to share with guests. I love cooking and hosting dinner parties, exploring the local area and spending quality time with people. I do work through the week but enjoy relaxing in the evenings and making the most of the weekend!
