About Me
CURRENT MISSION: Coming to Australia and NZ for a coupla months for work and love
Mandatory CS related quote (good one though)
"Stuff your eyes with wonder. Live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories. Ask no guaranties, ask for no security, there never was such an animal... Shake the tree and knock the great sloth down on his ass." - Fahrenheit 451
I work in a bunch of different jobs at home, but mostly arts press representation which is mad, busy, stressy and fun.
I get to work with a massive tribe of mad and fabulous art-humans.
I am veggie, probably quite important?
Trying to be zero waste, to be conscientious and aware and give a fuck.
"When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe." John Muir
Obvs I do washing up, and I am clean, tidy, friendly and fun. I like chilling but also partying.
Up For It.

C'est le plus sympa, plus accueillant, plus rigolo de tous les festivals écossais.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing is the best way to travel BY FAR. I've met so many amazing people through CS (both staying with them and just meeting up with people around me). When I lived in France, CS basically saved my life friend and fun-wise.

I can teach you how to... knit a scarf (shaped thing), make bangin' houmous, scottish slang, make origami, roll, do the square dance, various forms of genuinely amazing vegetable cakes, and many more highlights
I know a lot about books, I can recommend you a good one (or just tell you the story)
Je peux t'apprendre comment... tricoter un écharpe, faire du houmous, l'argot écossaise, faire l'origami, roller, faire la danse carrée, quelques gateaux végétales (vraiment bons).
Je connais bien la littérature anglophone, donc je peux te consigner quelque chose :)
