CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy living in NYC!

ABOUT ME

Hello there! I’m an antique Book Restorer based in New York, but I’m originally from London, England. I moved to the US in 2015, and have lived in New Orleans and Portland, Oregon during my time here.

I'm pretty chilled out, and enjoy meeting new people from here, there and everywhere-I'm a keen traveller. I have spent a couple of years travelling for months on end, when time and money would allow, and have travelled across the USA many times, and have worked in Mexico, and travelled around Fiji and Australia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm unable to offer my couch 'cause my place is VERY small.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couch surfed mainly in the States and Mexico too. I'm also part of Helpx, it's kind of like woofing, working in exchange for food and board, and I've loved doing this too. You can check out my profile there:

These have all been really positive experiences, and each person I have stayed with have made my trips unique and memorable!

Interests

I like making stuff; books, pictures, I had a brief flirtation with animation. I also love to write short stories, though this maybe because I'm unable to anything longer haha. I also love to dancing, cycling, walking, anything where I can move! And travelling of course; I love reading about it, songs about it, watching documentaries about it and of course, doing it! I love the feeling of travel, the process of getting on planes (though I am slightly scared of flying), trains, coaches. I spend a lot of my time going to gigs and watching films. I love going to the cinema, especially big, old classic cinemas.
