About Me

Hello! I’m a graphic designer working remotely and trying to spend as much time as possible outside. I recently moved back to my home town of Littlehampton while I figure out my next steps and would like to host couchsurfers while I’m here. I live with my mum (Iola) who is the best and who is excited to have couchsurfers come to stay.

(A load of the photos on this profile are from when I first made this account back in the 00s but I can’t bring myself to delete them because I don’t know where the original files are 😂 )

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've had great experiences connecting with people while hosting, being hosted and meeting for hang outs while travelling. Shout out to Janiek in Amsterdam, Slimane in Marrakesh, Cleber and Débora in Dublin, Yunus in Brussels and Markus who I hosted in Machynlleth and then who hosted me in Manchester 💜

I think the pandemic made me withdraw quite a lot. I’d like to do some things to step out of that and to start seeing the world as a wondrous place again. I think Couchsurfing is one way to do that.

Music, Movies, and Books

At the moment I’m obsessed with the soundtrack to Bo Burnham - Inside.

I love reading sci-fi but don’t do it enough and am trying to get to the library more.

My boyfriend and I have a cinema membership which we use a lot. The best films I’ve seen this year are Dìdi, Fancy Dance and Kneecap.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In May I walked the Camino de Santiago starting from Porto. For the last eight days there was non stop torrential rain and I almost gave up right before the end, but I somehow made it.

In September my boyfriend and I spent two weeks travelling from the UK to Istanbul by train. It was epic. We also met up with some lovely couchsurfers on the way.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I wish I could say I could juggle or do something impressive, but really I’d just like to meet you and learn a bit about you and your home, have a real conversation and make a new friend.
