About Me

HIYEEE
Not so good at talking about myself BUT here I go wheeee:

I'm an aspiring videographer and filmmaker, super passionate about most arts-related stuff, as well as food, books, philosophy, psychology, whiskey and GOOD FUN. Don't take myself too seriously and always trying to find ways to laugh at myself ad the world, but on the flip side also love to learn and adventure. I'm just as happy having 5 hours of one to one meaningful conversation as I am drinking and dancing all night, though my favourite connections are with people I can do both with!

I'm also a cocktail bartender so have unwillingly become someone that gets super excited about a well-balanced Old Fashioned lol, but I mean cheap warm beer in a can is fine too. I go to as many gigs as possible, so pleeease do recommend any must-see local venues/ bands from your area and I'll be sure to do the same!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Used it while I was travelling, and my Couchsurfing experiences were probably some of the best times I had being away! Meeting new people is always special, and I feel like everyone has the capacity to show you something new and make a positive impact on your life, so I guess it's a good idea right? Also because I'm perpetually bored of London so meeting new people helps!

(SO SORRY that I can't accept guests at present, unfortunately I don't live with people that are comfortable with/ will allow me to host, but as soon as I move out I will welcome you in and make you tea and pizza x)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Yet TBC really

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to learn how to meditate, or how to be better at the guitar (please someone help me), or about you and your culture. I can share my mediocre jokes and small knowledge of the Spanish language. I can also cook some pretty tasty dishes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Laughter, great company (we hope), embarrassing stories, advice about the UK, my opinion on how devastating it is to be British now that Brexit looms over everything lol. Also assuming we will hang out, I'd love to share some beers, an adventure, a meal, and a great playlist!

Countries I’ve Visited

Barbados, Belgium, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Malaysia, Malta, Netherlands, Spain, Turkey, Wales

Countries I’ve Lived In
