Hi my name is Bella.
I am from the UK but i love to travel all over the world, meeting new people and sharing and learning about other cultures. I love to make art out of upcyled materials, string, wire, sea shells, or anything i can get my hands on really. I am also a Handpoked tattoo artist which I have found to be an epic thing to travel with as I meet all sorts of people that wouldn’t normally and now have a huge family of people from all other the world. I love city’s, the architecture and the hustle and bustle of it all but I also loooove nature and basically hop from one park to the other where ever I am. I’m into all things sustainable and alternative, spiritual and extraterrestrial 👽

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Music; i love all things jazz and blues, recently ive been enjoying classical and what i can only describe as middle eastern soul... i doubt thats it’s official title though...
Bon iver is a VIBE

I love reading Osho, he’s definitely easier to digest that way.
Most other books i listen to on Audible as i travel a lot. Some being;
Eat, Pray, Love, Big Magic - both by Elizabeth Gilbert
ANYTHING by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, (woman who run with the wolves) her voice is beyond beautiful.
Other authors i love, Ram Dass, Marianne Williamson, Gabrielle Bernstien, Don Miguel Ruiz

Movies... hm this one is almost impossible i have so many favourites, all dependant on my mood, the phase of the moon and the time of the year. I guess we’ll have to discuss this one over a coffee.

this is ever changing. I love recommendations! - lets trade!
