About Me

I'm an artist and poet, travelling around Mexico this summer. My mum's family is from Mexico City, but I grew up in the UK, France and Italy. I studied English literature at Cambridge in the UK and then I spend a year in America, studying migration, gender and race.

I love travelling, meeting new people, and exploring new places. I particularly love theatre and art museums and am always looking for someone to go with!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people! Couch surfing seems to be the perfect way to do so, and to get to know a city.

I love sharing a bottle of wine with friends (always red).

Also, I am always looking for people to go to art galleries with and share pictures with!
