My name's Eva (pronounced Ava) and I'm an artist and singer from London. You can check out my artwork at @j0y_artist. I recently travelled Latin America and I've lived in Barcelona in Spain. I am passionate about social and environmental justice, I love painting murals and visiting free galleries. I love to try new food and hear new music and I love to swim, dance, hike and cycle. I'm chatty and organised and I love to try new things. Currently I am teaching English online and so we can practice together!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing a great way to get an authentic experience of the places I am visiting off the tourist track as well as an amazing opportunity to meet new people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love almost all music and discovering new genres. At the moment I am listening to a lot of Mano Chau, Elia y Elizabeth and Radio Citizen. My favourites include Amy Whinehouse, Bjork, The Specials, Chronixx, Little Simz, Lily Allen, Crystal Fighters, Erika Badu and soooo many more.

I think my favourite book is The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter but I also really like the author Margaret Atwood.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently solo travelled from LA to Colombia by land improving my Spanish skills and learning about different cultures along the way.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach art and craft skills (hand knitting, clay, painting, etc.) and English language and I love learning Spanish with all the different slang from different Spanish-speaking countries!
