About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel and Write Stories

ABOUT ME

My aim at the moment is to celebrate Holi Festival in Mathura, India with locals!
I am currently a journalist in London, work for The Guardian plus many independent music magazines like Artrocker, Clash, Disorder and write articles for Big Issue North.
I also love music and run a monthly club night in Camden with new bands and DJs! It's called Play It By Ear - you can check it out here - www.myspace.com/playitbyearclub
Apart from writing and learning about new cultures, I enjoy reading, going to exhibitions and cooking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never couch surfed before but am really eager to try it out and welcome travellers to London!
The closest experience I have had of it was this year - my housemate and I went to the US and met some people in a hostel in San Francisco - we became good friends and a couple of months later they came to London and stayed on our sofa!
