Product photographer by day, bartender by night. I love to cook, create, travel (duh, dont we all?!) volunteer and learn. I'm one of those try anything at least once kind of people...so we'll more than likely have at least one thing in common!

Often I'll be travelling with my lovely Partner, Julien. We met at a permaculture course and both share the same love for the world. Julien is Belgian, fluent in both French and English, and pretty sure he speaks German, Spanish and a bit of Italian even though he's says he can't .... I think he's being modest ;)

I live in Nottingham city centre, when hosting I can offer a double bed or sofa plus ample amount of tea!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's an amazing way to open up the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Found myself in a psychedelic, out of body experience after attending a breath work class which I thought was yoga....I was wrong. It was intense!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking and can share homemade Vegan/veggie recipes with you.
I like creating things, whether is photography or sewing and everything in between so can share any of that with you.
I know a thing or two about Gemology after working in a jewellers and I'm not bad at adobe photoshop/graphic design, I recently created the artwork for a bar menu so if you need a hand with anything just let me know! I love yoga too, I try to practise most mornings so you're welcome to join me :)

Julien has many interests, I'm yet to find him in a conversation where he has nothing to say about whatever topic it is (which is actually a compliment!) But particularly he's into sustainable food systems and permaculture. Very knowledgable about plant life and was a boyscout leader so could teach some survival techniques or redesign your garden to its full potential if you're up for it! He often travels with his slackline so could share that with you too along with his language skills and bread baking abilities!

& we recently got into climbing would love to learn more
