About Me

Hi there,

My background if creativity - more specifically textile design and cultural influence. I enjoy a good coffee or cuppa tea and have a pretty open mind about things. Always up for a yarn or just to listen in on what's happening.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on a thin budget so am trying to be creative by using couch surf to meet some new people/make some cool netorks and experience some local turf

Interests

  • design
  • cooking
  • coffee

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Joined the gym. Completely unusual of me but am actually enjoying it.

Teach, Learn, Share

My excellent cooking skills, good and sometimes funny banter, helpfulness around the place and whatever else I can offer
