I can't accept guests after the 29th Oct, I'm moving

CURRENT MISSION

"Educate, agitate, organise"
(i.e. make some social impact)

ABOUT ME
Polychromatic polyamorous polymath.
Scientist by training, photographer, artist, ultra-precariat, migrant, not-entirely-abled.
I'm very open minded and open with people, and my place is always queer friendly

PHILOSOPHY

Intersectional feminist, anarchist, atheist, bright green. Lots of people live their lives as if they don't realise they only have 80 or so years to live, I'm not one of those people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed when I first arrived in Cambridge, and when I visited Stockholm and Gothenburg. I hosted a guy from China and a girl from the US when I was in Cambridge, but mostly I have only hosted friends of friends in London, as my housemates didn't want complete strangers in our warehouse. BUT I have my own place from 11th Sept so I can start hosting some people :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in a poly queer hippy warehouse in West London with a lovely famous feminist writer.

Had lunch with Stephen Hawking

Emmanuel, Downing and Trinity College May Balls :)

Lifted 100kg

Climbed Mt Ruapehu when I was 11.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmm... I've dabbled in a fair number of things. I can teach you the basics of photography or photo editing, show you old internet memes, how to make actually-delicious vegan sugar-free chocolate, play Pokemon Go with you, or teach you some interesting facts about nutrition and neuropsychopharmacology.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm happy to cook or bake :) I can lift heavy things, too
