I am a freelance musician/musical artist currently based in London, UK.

I grew up on Dartmoor, a wild and beautiful place in the South-West of England. Like, the Shire. I'm earthy AF. I have always sung folk music, and also did classical lessons from a young age. I then trained in Physical Theatre and Acrobalance at circus school, and have since been exploring music composition and performance in different contexts such as song-cycles, circus and theatre. I’m now working on a solo project and would love to see the music scene of places I visit!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm going on a solo trip where I plan to write, meet interesting people, check out music scenes in other cities. I love the community of couch surfing and want to make friends.

I hope to open up my couch in London in the future, when I have the capacity (and go-ahead from housemates!)

Interests

I'd love to check out the nightlife, see live music, drag shows, comedy. I love meeting people and their friends, taking walks and seeing sights (maybe a little bit of touristy stuff, why not). Definitely interested in seeing some of the queer nightlife, having a dance, and making new best friends in bathrooms (is that more of a UK thing?).

I like eating nice food, and finding the best coffee.

Music, Movies, and Books

Big Thief, Julia Jacklin, Aldous Harding, Sandy Denny, Martin Carthy, Silly Sisters, Ye Vagabonds, Lankum, The Gloaming... there's loads.

Anna Calvi, Sharon Van Etten, Angel Olsen...

Young Fathers, Lizzo, bit of Bey

For movies.. Portrait Of A Lady On Fire - an historical & impossible queer love story gets me right there 💔 also got a massive soft spot for the 5th Element (though that may be entirely nostalgia). Watched Parasite the other night and was holding my face for most of it. Not in a good way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacking around France and making the most amazing friends through couch surfing… such a beautiful thing ❤️

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a vocal coach and can give you a really encouraging and informative singing lesson :) and then we can sing rounds together

I make a banging salad… let’s make some summery eats

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share excellent breakfast skills (I'm from East London. It's what we do.)
I can also teach you a folk song or two and give you some pretty top shelf voice coaching tips.
I can sing you to sleep, and I'm also a great agony aunt/sounding board for family and relationship woes. Got the t-shirt mate. I'm all ears.
