ABOUT ME

Vegetarian, anarchist, feminist, I was in a samba band, co-founded Ipswich's Food Co-op and Random Camel Housing Co-op, was a member of Transition Towns and Radical Routes, enjoy baking, cooking, screen-printing, recycling materials and growing food. I dance tango, salsa, and freely, am learning to build using natural sustainable materials, and want to focus on developing my own art, currently drawing portraits then printing them on found t shirts.

PHILOSOPHY

To be part of the loop

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Not very much at the mo- I'm always in temporary accommodation travelling around with my job but i might be in this place for a while, this summer perhaps.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My household stayed at Polish and Indonesian band members houses whilst on tour and i regularly stayed with other housing co-ops when we're on Radical Routes business, and now im abroad ive used CS in Turkey, Israel, Palestine, Greece Italy and beyond! I love couchsurfing!

Interests

I can be quiet as well as animated, a grubby urchin or glamorous. I listen more than i talk, mostly. Im exploring love on the road, i love to be in love. Am happiest outdoors in a natural environment, living modestly within the earths resources.
