I'm Ffion - 24 year old Welsh girl travelling for the first time. Spoken word and dancing to soul are the things that keep me, me. I've got a degree in Literature and Writing, and for the last 18 months have been working for a charity that sources funding for community groups. Despite visiting amazing projects and people, I knew deep down I didn't want to work with the money side of things.
I just set out on my first little mini-adventure in the states, checking out the music of memphis and new orleans and the beat of san fran! I already miss meeting interesting people every day so I'm now here to host whilst I save up to set out on another trip!
Come stay and I'll make you cups of tea and falafel and take you for walks around the city and to check out some good music! I love hearing stories :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because who knows anywhere better than a local? I don't just want to skim the surface!
And any excuse to even just have a cuppa tea and a chat with likeminded people!!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music that moves me! Be that physically or from the inside-out!
Soul (Northern & Southern! Ha!) funk, reggae, hip hop, blues, house, jungle, punk, goth, psychedelic.
I'm open to any music - if I haven't heard it...play it for me!

Cult movies. Indie dramas. In Bruges, American Beauty, Withnail & I. Documentaries like Werner Herzog, but I also equally enjoy trashy stuff like Showgirls.

Emily Bronte, Allen Ginsberg, Niall Griffiths.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing Pastor AL GREEN at the Full Gospel Tabernacle Church in Memphis.
He's still got it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to speak some Welsh, and I'll even contextualize it with the folk tales and legends. Dragons, giants, a woman conjured from flowers...

I want to learn everything and anything! No information or skill is useless. Cooking wicked veggie food is something I need to learn more of! Slowly but surely!
