I grew up in London, England, and have spent the vast majority of my time there, although I’ve travelled a respectable amount in Europe, and a little a bit further afield.

Currently taking an interdisciplinary degree which consists predominantly of philosophy modules, but also a number in biochemistry, writing, psychology and French.

I studied dance, particularly ballet, for almost fourteen years, and then broke away from it in my late teens to pursue my other interests. These interests have always been varied, and, since an early age, have evolved and closely followed an underlying philosophical desire to realise a life of ‘imaginary dimensions’. A large part of this entails a ‘Don Quixotic’ approach to travelling, hence my using CS.

Otherwise: music, performance, writing, reading, and cooking of all types are of great interest to me. As is, at the moment, questions of a relatively esoteric sort. Think Gurdjieff and his treatment of the psyche. I am currently thinking a lot about ‘will’.

I’d just like to meet people who have the time and inclination to share a day or two given over to silliness, laughter, maybe a drink!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm planning on travelling a lot more over the coming months and years, starting with a trip to France and then Italy.

Ahem.. I'm gonna need friends!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I love to learn about any and everything.
