About Me

Hello!
I'm a creative, adventurous type currently living in Bristol, UK.
I'm a singer and a dancer. I love meeting new people and exploring new places.
People fascinate me, I love learning about people's life experience and perspectives on the world.
I'm easy going and spontaneous. Let me cook for you, we can drink wine, or whatever beverage you're into, then we could go out and look at some cool stuff, or stay in and listen to music, yeah?!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used couchsurfing a lot a few years back when i was travelling around Spain. I met some wonderful, welcoming people. I am just about to embark on some more European travels this summer (2013) and am hoping to have yet more great experiences :)
As i just said i am away this summer but when i get back to Bristol in September i will be up for meeting for coffee and maaaaaaaayyyyy have a couch... :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch surfed a lot around Europe

Interests

music is my first love! I sing and play a bit of guitar too, so hopefully looking forward to connecting with other musicians!
I am interested in world politics and philosophical conundrums.
I have always danced but have recently started doing regualr contemporary/Butoh classes. I am also into Yoga and practice every day if i can.
My favorite way of learning is through meeting new people and shareing experiences.
i love to laugh!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

whilst in Granada city in the south of Spain i took part in one of the world wide protests that started the Occupy movement off.
A few summers i organised a small week long festival for 150 16-21 year olds. we had loads of exiting workshops like massage, yoga and pottery and had bands come and play in the evenings.
I am currently volunteering at a Buddist meditation and yoga retreat in France.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well ive got two years of a vocal music course under my belt so id be happy to give you some singing lessons! teach you some rounds and songs with lovely harmonies. i could also teach you some songs and chords on the guitar.
I am no yoga teacher but i would be happy to share some basic positions with you.
i like to cook for my hosts, shareing meals is one of my favorite things in the world! and its such an easy way to make everyone happy :)
I could also give you a hair cut! it'd be pretty basic but its something i really enjoy doing and want to pursue.
Something else i want to pursue is story telling, so if your skilled in either of these i would be thrilled to learn!
