My name is Taya; I’m new to solo travelling and to this app! I’m an art grad currently nesting in Newcastle upon Tyne.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to host when I’m finished travelling, and I want to enrich my experience on a more nuanced level

Music, Movies, and Books

Music-wise I’m into everything from Radiohead and folky stuff like Joanna Newsom to the dirtiest Techno! My favourite movie is maybe Synecdoche, New York or The Handmaiden, and I have too many favourite works of literature and non-fiction to list (at the moment, though, it’s probably Slaughterhouse 5).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Became a published journalist.
