CURRENT MISSION

to get everyone smiling

ABOUT ME

I'm in my final year of art school in south london, but I live in the north east of the city. I like exploring the quirky, none too familiar places in cities. I would prefer to climb on roofs, cycle by canals etc. than visit overpriced tourist spectacles. I am extremely interested in other cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

'when you're smiling the whole world smiles with you'. Not only a great tune, but true.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately our house is really tiny and unaccommodating. I'm trying convince my housemates to let me host in the summer when we aren't all here for university. But for the time being, I'm happy to show you around the shoreditch area of London. Its more exciting than the usual tourist traps. We can hire bikes (£1 per day) as it's the best way to see the city. I am originally from north England so I can tell you all about our culture etc. If I can't meet you I'm still be happy to offer advice or answer questions.
There's a few festivals on in summer in London/Yorkshire so if you want to attend let me know.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm totally new to this and very excited.

Teach, Learn, Share
