About Me

*please note, I am currently not using the app and can only respond to email requests. If urgent please contact me on whatsapp*

Passionate and full of wanderlust.

"If chaos is a work of art;
may my heart be a masterpiece"

I studied Animation for a year.
Worked as a type-setter/proofreader/cleaner for digital manga.
I enjoy all forms of escapism our world has to offer; music, games, art, literature, travel and performance. I love to get lost in beautiful things and expand my knowledge along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to travel and learn about the world from new people and the experiences they may bring.

Music, Movies, and Books

Series: Star Trek, Game of Thrones, Shameless, Black Mirror, Bates Motel, Mindhunters.

Books: Eragon (Christopher Paolini), The Magicians Guild (Trudi Canavan), Good Omens (Terry Pratchett)
Classical Novels: The Portrait of Dorian Grey (Oscar Wilde), Dracula (Bram Stroker), Demian (Herman Hesse)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Other than being fortunate enough to travel at a very young age, I haven't made a name for myself yet but I have seen beautiful and wonderful things.

Sights To Remember
*Watched a burlesque performance at the origional Moulin Rouge.
*Casually stumbled across an authentic Salvador Dali exhibition in a dodgy side-street in Venice.
*Walked through Diagon Alley and got drunk with power on butter beer and the Elder Wand.

Top 3 Noddy Badge Achievements:
*Can pop my thumb joint back and forth for the amusement (and horror) of others.
*Have climbed all 325 stairs to the Whisper Gallery of The Durham Cathedral.
*Art & Design award student.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy talking and sharing aspects of my eclectic soup-bowl of a culture, as well as learning from others about theirs.

I'm passionate about the arts and love to share it with those willing to listen. Music and literary exchanges are some of my favorite cultural learning platforms.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to share aspects of my culture and our food with those who are willing to host me.
Few things immerse one into a culture as well as a home cooked meal can.
