I've been living in Edinburgh for the last 7 years. In that time I've met lots of super cool people from all walks of life... artists, musicians, hippies, yuppies, weirdos and lots in between. I used to manage a music venue/night club in the city centre, so I'm fortunate enough to have been surrounded by some very cool and creative folks. I've since taken a side-step to cocktail bartending which gives me lots to learn all the time. I occasionally do sign-writing for various places around where I live so I'm a bit of an art & design junkie. I'm moving to Canada in January so open to meeting some new Canadian friends!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet new people, and travelling to a new city as a stranger might be the most thrilling way to do it as you get to hear some great stories from people you might not otherwise get to meet.

Interests

I love music; food and trying out new places to eat and drink; drag performance; tattoo; and exploring the weird subcultures/countercultures of the places I visit and live.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm pretty open to all music, although my favourite music to see live has got to be hip-hop or punk rock. Something with plenty of energy to make you move your feet. Probably my favourite show of all time (so far) was Ugly Duckling - west coast hip-hop from the sunshine state of Cali.

I love dark humour and independent movies. I'm also a sucker for a cheesy American comedy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 12 I sailed from Southampton to Durban with my mum on a cargo ship.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm usually pretty good at weeding out the best cocktail bars I have a few crazy-ish stories from my time working in nightlife.
