CURRENT MISSION

Burning the candle at both ends

ABOUT ME

A dairy-free idealist with a passion for hob nobs.

PHILOSOPHY

My candle burns at both ends.
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends -
It gives a lovely light.

- Edna St. Vincent Millay

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It's great to take opportunities to connect with people, see things from fresh perspectives, and make new friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met a wealth of wonderful people in Oxford - some of whom quickly became some of my very best friends (I married one of them!) - as well as the warm and fabulous people who've stayed with me and hosted me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ka by Cirque de Soleil was the most amazing show I've ever seen - stunning physical performances combined with a mind-blowing production.

Teach, Learn, Share

I play a few musical instruments and would love to have a jam with you.

I'm a mediocre cook but would really like to be better! So if you'd be up for having a laugh trying to teach me something, I'll be a willing student.

I'm a bit of a hippy - vegan, environmentalist, feminist - so I'm used to a good debate. Always up for being proven wrong and thus being improved.
