About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To get me a website

ABOUT ME

Hey, I'm an English girl from the south coast and I've finally moved to my favourite city- Bristol! I did a bit of couch surfing whilst I was living in Brasov in Romania, but hope to do a bit more in the future! I can be quite shy at first but I try hard not to be. I really enjoy discussing music and talking about creative things. I've got two cats back at home with my mum and I try to play the Baritone ukulele every now and then.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just want to meet people! I think this is an awesome idea.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Before going to Romania I had only ever done the whole sleeping on someone's couch thing in London, Oxford, Plymouth, Dorchester etc with my friend's so nothing major! Still good fun though :) since then I've hosted a few people which has been really great, they were lovely people!

Interests

Photography, art, music (at the moment I really like The Magnetic Fields and Jeffrey Lewis), quirky films, walking in town and out, talking late into the night, yummy food, crochet, crafts, playing my Uke and Baritone, cycling, reading, writing, dancing, zines, independent shops and cafes

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to crochet, knit and sew and I can cook a bit. I can help you with anything Photography wise, but I don't use digital cameras all that much!
