About Me

Life lovin' sketchist and illustrationer. Into martial arts, novels, sleeping, docs, comics, novels, films, sunshine and laughs.
I've really begun to find a love for outdoor activities like hikes, obstacle course races, buggy racing and snorkelling. I have been enjoying clay pigeon shooting and target shooting when I was living in Prague, Czech Republic.
I love road trips abroad as much as I enjoy chilling indoors and talking the night away.
For a living I illustrate cartoons and bespoke designs. I entertain as a caricaturist for weddings, corporate events and every kind of party. Which means I get to party every weekend...which is awesome! It also allows me to travel the country as I am booked nationally.
I also work as a TV extra since March 2016 and this also takes me around the country and potentially abroad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a 'social butterfly' and enjoy meeting new people and mingling with multinational people to sample their various cultures.
Couchsurfers arrange a lot of activities and get-togethers and I enjoy the enthusiasm and energy of the Couchsurfing crowd.

Interests

My interests are in seeking ways to have a healthy lifestyle and still have cake and booze. I'm fascinated by nature and wildlife. Two of my favourite things this year was going on safari in Kenya and snorkelling in Egypt.
I'm into reading fantasy and thriller novels.
I love costume parties so Halloween in one of my favourite days in the year.
I like cake and booze. I'm a team player so sharing cake and booze is cool too.

Music, Movies, and Books

Hip hop, dance, house and rock but not always mainstream stuff. I have particular tastes.
For movies I will go for action, comedy and thrillers. Doesn't matter what setting as long as it's entertaining.
Thought provoking documentaries are great too. I don't watch a lot of TV because I don't devote time to it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I only recently learned to swim and I beat my fears by snorkelling in the Blue Hole in Dahab. It's a 130 metre deep hole and the water is crystal clear so it's like looking over a canyon. I free dived 5 metres into it and met an octopus. Totally mind blowing!

Teach, Learn, Share

If you like BJJ I am happy to roll! I am happy to join on adventures and outdoor activities and sketching. I'd love to pass on things I know.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I lo e to talk and share stories and I love to draw in my own time as well as professionally. I can offer on-the-spot caricatures or some other kind of sketch.
