CURRENT MISSION

Documentary filmmaking

ABOUT ME

I love most food - except for anything with meat in it. I dislike almost all poetry but like a few poems a lot.
I can't do any dances, sing well or play an instrument but I love singing, dancing and going to gigs.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others as you would like to be treated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My boyfriend and I host couchsurfers, meet up with other hosts and travellers at Perth CS meet-ups and get involved in some other events.
I stayed with my first CS hosts in France.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I've only just stayed with one family - my lovely hosts in Avignon.
