Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Having lived and hosted travelers in both Amman and Florence, I now split my time between living in London and travelling for art conferences and the like in Asia. I occasionally host in London and will be moving to Leipzig next year where I will be accepting guests.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My family and I used to host a few exchange students a year in our home in Jordan and show them around Petra and the like, I used to love meeting new people and when I came to study in Florence I hosted a friend of a friend and showed her around, and she's the one that introduced me to this website and I think it's a brilliant initiative. I've since both hosted people and stayed at several people's houses in Italy, the UK and Jordan. I've found genuine life-long friends through this website.

Interests

Renaissance art and architecture, intersectional feminism, punk and post punk music, dancing, en plain air painting, sculpture, russian literature, iaido, awesome street food, japanese rope bondage, extreme watersports, marxism.
