I look weird but I promise I'm not. Anyway, I've couchsurfed many times, but forgot the login for my old account! People's first impression of me is usually that I must be a Satan- worshipping-child-eating deviant, but secretly I'm refreshingly nice and friendly.

I make YouTube videos for my channel "It's Black Friday" about fashion, beauty, comedy, vlogs, Goth stuff, whatever really. Watching those will give you a good idea of who I am: http://www.youtube.com/itisblackfriday

I love dressing up, travelling, and meeting new people. I work in the NZ film industry occasionally, as production designer, art director, or art department.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like making new friends, and staying with locals is a great way to learn about the area you're in.

Interests

Fashion, vampires, cats, piano, language, history, candy. I like making people happy, being creative, and having adventures.

Music, Movies, and Books

80s and 90s style Gothic Rock (predictably), Corpus Delicti, Suspiria, Sisters of Mercy, Siouxsie, Bauhaus, you know the sort.

I love British comedies; Black Books, Black Adder, Father Ted, etc. Favourites movies would be Sleepy Hollow, Sweeney Todd, and The Wolfman.

Books, I love anything from P.G Wodehouse, Douglas Adams, Neil Gaiman, Poe's stories and poems, and *cough* Harry Potter.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sailed through a storm in the subantarctic to be nearly killed by a whale. Twice. In the same day.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation, especially about spooky ghost stories. I might share some candy with you. I can't cook so please don't ask me for help, you will regret it.
