Hi! Im Kit (he/him), I’m 35 and I live in the UK. I’ll be travelling to New Zealand and Australia for two months in early 2026. This will be my first big solo trip in about 10 years so I’m excited and nervous.

Over the last few years I’ve been living in Bristol and working at a theatre while making metal sculpture and installations for festivals and events. I’m a qualified welder and in 2026 I’m looking to learn some new ways of working with metal, including jewellery, casting and 3D printing.

I’m also a colossal nerd; I run two dungeons and dragons campaigns set in my own world, one of which we are recording as a podcast. I love drawing, watching animated shows, and reading; mostly speculative fiction and magical realism.

I’ve been running since I was 17 but haven’t gotten any better at it. I enjoy that half hour of run-walking every time though. I also love yoga and would love to learn some circus skills.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I know that there are so many wonderful and exciting people in the world. Looking forward to meeting some on my travels.
