About Me

Hellooo!! I'm an easy going, charismatic, fun, young lady. I am a songwriter but probably not your traditional muso (I'm notup-to-date with what's 'popular' and who's 'big' in the entertainment industry... I am just a writer and love performing).
I thrive off learning - from other people, documentaries, books, tutorials, etc.
Fascinated by the universe and astronomy. Love dinosaurs. Love studying ants (sounds odd, but they are really interesting). I love cooking (am experimental but the end result is mostly tasteful!)
I love all genres of music.
I enjoy partying and adventures, although my typical night is to stay in with some wine and a joint and just hang out.
I am a fitness fanatic (run every day). Love any physical activity but don't despise those who aren't so athletic at all!
I have a very open mind and holistic view on life and the world.
I am an experienced traveler - couchsurfing with friends, hostel traveling with friends and also touring for my career, solo.
I like to consider myself a pleasant guest and also, a generous host. I pretty much get along with everyone and can easily adapt to new environments and in new situations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make new friends around the world :)
I'll be based in London July - October and wanting to meet as many people over there and in Europe as possible (hoping to also get back to France, Germany and Croatia).

Music, Movies, and Books

I love historical fiction novels (Belinda Alexandra is my favourite author).
Her books - White Gardenia, Wild Lavender, Silver Wattle are all amazing books!)
My favourite movie is Forrest Gump. I do also love Billy Wilder movies - huge huge fan of Audrey Hepburn and can literally watch Love in the Afternoon and Breakfast at Tiffany's any day.
I do also love Star Wars, Casino Royale, Girl Interrupted, Inside Man, In Her Shoes (so have quite an eclectic taste!!!!)
Music - everything from deep house, to pop, rock, tropical, ambient, acoustic, live.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I managed to get on X Factor last year and ended up coming 7th which was a pretty amazing experience

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you my weird and wonderful side of living and thinking. I have an optimistic personality and find my outlook and positivity is infectious :)
I have a childish/fun side but am mature and sophisticated when it's appropriate.

What I Can Share with Hosts

laughter, energy, positivity, love
