About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To finish Uni in once piece!

ABOUT ME

I've been involved in lots of different volunteering and activist projects in Leeds. I'm quite involved in feminist politics and volunteer for a few youth and sex education resources on-line.

I'm an engineering student, but have also done some illustration and have enjoyed organising workshops and music events.

PHILOSOPHY

I would say that my main philosophy is that the world can be better if things are less top-down and more communal... and also that everyone always has the right to want something better of life. I live just because I want to experience more of what I love about other people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can cook (especially if aubergines are available!), wash-up, paint walls, doodle and clean up after myself! I'm comfortable with pretty much anyone, there's always a good conversation in it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't couch-surfed until now, but have sure had the odd friend in need stay over at ours, and have had to know some basic manners for staying at other people's places!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spring
Someone else's face

Teach, Learn, Share

Don't keep problems to yourself, it's always good to tell someone about it.

The dollar sign in excel is really really useful.

Put 2 cardamons in a pot of tea, it's yummy.
