About Me

I was born and grew up partially in the US (San Diego) till I was 11 and then moved to the UK (London) and have been there ever since. Having been to 18 countries and lived in 4, I also go around the UK a lot for acting and film jobs and hope to gain a Masters in filmmaking from an accredited university within the next two years. I have several songs up on Spotify and I'm currently working on a music video, a documentary and I'm also building an acting and screen showreel for my portfolio.

Both my partner and I consider ourselves TCKs, i.e. Third Culture Kids - people who grew up in more than one country/culture and who rarely feel truly 'at home' anywhere.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't make enough money to be able to always afford hotels or even hostels when I travel. I also love interacting with new people and making friends so it's a win-win for me!

Teach, Learn, Share

A burrito will always solve the problem
