ABOUT ME

I am a fibre-loving, internet-addicted, cat-owning actress who works in a yarn store (I love my job). I love books, tv, games, crafts. I prefer a glass of wine at home with good food and company to a night on the town, but love cute and old fashioned bars/restaurants. Anything with flair and a sense of drama, vintage appeal or a romantic air makes me happy. My friends describe me as compassionate and caring, quirky and cute, funny and flirtatious (in the good way). I am cautious, but not serious, curious, but not careless.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am about to embark on major travels, but hope to offer up a couch upon my return. I would love to meet some people and allow other people to see my country.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My best friends in my hometown have a couch and introduced me to the concept. I met some lovely travellers at their house!

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I have produced theatre shows - three now - an incredible experience. I moved cities and lived by myself - i am still in awe that i have done this and survived.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I would love to pass on my skill as a knitter and crocheter - I would love to learn more spinning techniques.
I would LOVE to get some more guitar lessons, or even play a cello again ( it's been a loooong time)
I teach belly dancing as well and would love to learn other types of dancing.
I cook well and am happy to pass on recipes as well as learn new ones. Definitely happy to cook for people.
