I am a Textile Creative. I appreciate all artistic expressions and I enjoy meeting people, great food , and music that makes you want to get up and dance like no one is watching!
I have a fantastic daughter, who is away studying civil engineering. Like many students, she comes back home during the term breaks. I work full time as a Supervisor for a UK brand called Oliver Bonas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I learnt about Couchsurfing through following some of my favourite Youtube travel vloggers.

Interests

I absolutely love visiting local neighbourhood markets! In Paris, I love Belleville market. In Barcelona, it's the El Encant, and in Rotterdam it has got to be the indoor and outdoor market in Blaak!
I get such a kick out of seeing what the vendors are selling, whether it's cheese, flowers, old furniture, handbags etc. It all feels so familiar to see the local people going about their daily lives and in that way I feel at home. It's great to be a part of the community that way. I love it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have did a tandem para-sail in Fiji with my daughter when she was seven years old. That was pretty amazing!
