CURRENT MISSION

I'm reacquainting myself with UK life right now, and looking for a job to keep me here for a while. I'd really love to find somewhere to stay for a month or so in Newcastle, while I do that!

ABOUT ME

I've had a bit of a circuitous route in life so far, I guess. I had a few years out after school to travel, act, work, sing, dance, au pair and think (in varying combinations), before settling into a degree in International Development in Norwich, UK. I've since worked for NGOs abroad, most recently in Ghana and am now back in the UK working out my next steps. I like to sing, dance and trampoline, among other things.

PHILOSOPHY

I lay bricks, one at a time, to build the life I want to live. The wall may not end up as square or neat as others, but it will be my wall and I will love it.

Sometimes you have to jump off the cliff to see how far the fall is...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't have space to host at the minute, unfortunately, but I'm around for meet ups.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a newbie, but I've heard great things!

Interests

I love to explore new places and meet new people along the way, sharing experiences and learning with each other.
I'm also a big performance fan, so always up for going to see something new, whether it be drama, music, storytelling, dance, or any combination of the arts.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music wise, I tend to be a bigger fan of the folkier side of things, but do dabble with many a genre. Afrobeats, reggae, Balkan, ska, swing, Cajun, soul, motown... And Beyonce, of course.
Most of the books I enjoy the most deal, in one way or another, with a culture or country other than my own. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Khaled Hosseini, Yaa Gyasi...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I abseiled down a 100m waterfall in Mount Elgon NP in Eastern Uganda. That view was just something else.
