About Me

CURRENT MISSION

This summer I plan to cycle between dance festivals and self build projects.

ABOUT ME

I'm positive and outgoing person. I love to be helpful and try new things whether that's on my own or with friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm always happy to meet like minded individuals and would like to live in a place more authentically than staying in hostels. Due to my interest in different environments I will inevitably pick your brains on the local area and your experiences.

Interests

Let's start the 'I' sentences.
- I enjoy cultures and subcultures far and wide.
- I enjoy dancing Blues, Lindy Hop, Salsa, Swedish Folk, Contact Improv and drum and bass.
- I have a keen interest in small scale construction projects and have been involved in heritage building restoration.
- I also have a love of cycling.

If you have opinions on any one of the following we can enjoy some good conversation:
- Food,
- Cycling,
- Your town/city/country
- Feminism,
- Philosophy,
- Travel,
- Planning,
- Politics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It may not be the most extraordinary place I have visited, and I'm lucky to have visited so many places, but my favourite experience may have been visiting the Outer Hebrides.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn to play Harp. Second to that dream, I would like to learn to: write songs, cook new foods, learn new instruments and dances. My french is not as strong as it once was, I would love to recover what I used to know.

I can teach you the odd dance move.

I am also using workaway to find ecobuild and restoration projects, if this interests you then get in touch.
