About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To pull the perfect espresso...

ABOUT ME

Hey ho. I live in London in a little apartment with my boyfriend. We're good at going out and throwing disco shapes. We're also good at being grown-ups and staying in with good food and good wine.

I like to spend a full day making a meal so complicated and tasty that it only takes minutes to eat. I will happily do this for my guests - just bring the wine :)

PHILOSOPHY

Do stuff now, before you have a mortgage.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed a few times in France then introduced my partner to CS when we surfed in Stockholm.

Had some awesome people to stay with us in London. Seriously good friends now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sat on top of a roof - all wrapped up in warm blankets - in the middle of the Ecuadorian rainforest watching electrical storms going wild across the skies of Colombia.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: English! Especially if you're a small child. I do careers coaching sessions with my students if that's your kinda thing.
Learn: New languages please. Politics. Your politics, your country's politics.
Share: A cup of coffee, a glass of wine and good conversation.
