I have grown up and currently live in London, working freelance within Set Design for events, fashion, television and advertising...
I love art and making things! I studied Sculpture at university and spend a lot of time in my studio working with textiles, printmaking and collages. I gather great inspiration from meeting new people and experiencing different cultures and landscapes!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of couch surfing as being an opportunity to make friends, immerse yourself in a culture and experience the place as a local! It's one of my favourite ways to travel!

I am happy to meet and show people around the places I enjoy in London but currently do not live in a place big enough to accommodate somebody.

Interests

Taking photographs, finding new music, watching independent films, visiting art galleries & museums, going to music festivals, cycling trips, hiking, meeting new people, finding gems in charity and vintage shops, dancing for hours, eating out, cooking (especially Chinese, Japanese and Sri Lankan food!), road trips to the English country side, train journeys, learning about different cultures, reading and soooo much more!!

I have done a separate creative interests section as I am very to keen to share and learn skills whenever possible and hopefully through my travels!
