I believe that there is something to be learnt from every person you meet, no matter how big or small the interaction. I like that most people on here are often selfless and in search of the same thing - connection, authenticity and growth.

Here are some words about me:
I have been travelling on and off for the past 3 years, primarily exploring and experiencing but also working as a freelance tattoo artist.
I lug my needles and ink around because I revel in the joy that comes from being trusted to leave my art on so many beautiful bodies scattered all around this world.
Alongside tattooing, i’m drawn to all kinds of art, music, dance and ways of expressing oneself. I have a background in circus, street art and painting. I loooove nature, swimming, camping, the outdoors, and furry friends. I like to think that I am an open minded person, I don’t need a lot to be happy. I’m all for not taking life so seriously and just being able to have a good sense of humour about things.
I’m happiest when my day is going exactly according to impulse. I’m not a huge planner and when travelling I really enjoy partaking in activities and traditions I normally have nothing to do with.

I am a very independent traveller and can both keep to myself or be social. I am easy going, neat, respectful and always ready for a new adventure.
I really just love getting to see other peoples worlds and explore a place through their eyes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it’s such a beautiful concept and it makes the thought of travel so much more interesting. When I was younger, travel seemed to be about the place, but as I continue to explore I only realise more and more how much it is truly shaped by the people. I love getting to see the authentic side of a country that I otherwise would never get to experience, and all of the spontaneous fun that can occur when you hang out with a local.
