Music, Movies, and Books

Currently: Hozier, George Ezra, Paolo Nutini, The Antlers, James Bay, Death Cab for Cutie, Laura Marling, Johnny Flynn & the Sussex Wit, and always Dexy's Midnight Runners & Billy Joel & just about any Beatles record.

Currently reading a collection of Vincent Van Gogh's letters & recently saw and loved "Demolition", "Anomalisa", "Crimson Peak" and "Colonia". All times favourites include "Le Fabuleux Destin D'Amelie Poulain" & "The Third Man." I'm a huge film nerd & am always looking for recommendations & discussions! Tell me your favourite film in your request so I know you've given this a read :).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed three mountains in one day on the Isle of Skye- really knocked the wind out of me!
Definitely worth it for the views.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a substantial amount of knowledge about film and video. I can also teach you art history things & share campfire cooking tips.

Languages: Can help with French, English, and we can run German vocab together if you're learning too!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My encyclopedic knowledge of random trivia & my superb budget cooking skills. I've worked in the wine industry so I know my fair share. I once did a certification in costume makeup & know a few tips and tricks thereof. I've done a bit of swing dancing too, so I can show you some steps if you're keen!
