a thinker a dreamer a skater a schemer...my fiddle, my voice and my pens are my expression when words are not the thing. I have lived co-operatively most of my life (the biggest was 60 people) and love to share food and stories but also totally get it when folk (including me) need their space and silence. I love animals, audiobooks, knitting, collages... I need to dance and sing often or my soul shrinks . my curiosity drives me and I'm a total geek for polyphonic singing (the last performance I made is a polyphonic drag-clown tribute to the band t.A.T.u.) and i do stick-and-poke tattoos

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Last september I quit my job at the roller disco in Glasgow and hit the road...I'm on a slow search for a new home space and finding ways to focus my energy. Really enjoying travelling slowly at the moment and getting to connect with people. I have hosted many folk 'unofficially' in my old home in Glasgow but as I'm travelling I can't do that right now. I know what it means to be offered a place to stay and I really appreciate it :)
