I've just finished 5 years of studying Fine Art in London, and am now taking a break! My boyfriend Henry and I are traveling through North America, we were in our 1997 ford escort, but have now sold the car to fly to Mexico.
We began in the North East of Canada and are now in MX. Soon we head back to the USA to catch our flight home to England.

Henry’s a writer and I’m an artist - and along the way we have been filming a documentary series about Ice Cream in America - It's called Crème USA.

We are low maintenance, relaxed, fun. Would love to hang out with hosts over coffee, wine, beer, ice cream , and get a feel for their life and Home and culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to see into peoples lives and homes and briefly be part of it, help out, do my bit, and mostly chat and learn about other people and their culture. Eqully I would like to invite pople to do the same in my life/home.

of course there’s never anything more reliable than local advice
