About Me

CURRENT MISSION
To be a hospitable and helpful couchsurfer

ABOUT ME
Disabled Artist(CFS/fibromyalgia) who loves hosting when I am feeling a little bit better. I am intelligent and have quite a random sense of humour. 😀

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by organising CS events, providing hospitality and helping International students with English.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met (randomly)some couchsurfers in Budapest at my friend David's friend Andreas.

Interests

I am an Artist! I have a passion for creative things such as photography, film, music, playing the guitar, DIY, cooking, music, theatre etc.

When Im with friends I love just chilling out, chatting about a diverse range of subjects, dining out, going to concerts.

Overall, I just love meeting people from all around the world, which is the main reason I joined couchsurfing.com. ..
