About Me

I like swapping stories and sharing ideas. I draw and paint, mainly comic sketches and illustrations. I'm really interested in Gender and Sexuality studies, but for now I'm choosing to receive a different kind of education by travelling solo and taking on volunteer work wherever I can help out. I want to meet lots of different people and hear their side of all things goin' on in the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because I think it's a great way to meet some people with similar interests, or at least those with a similar mindset. It would be nice to see what each city/country is like through the eyes of a local rather than other travellers.

Ultimately, I am on couchsurfing because I believe that experiences are a lot more meaningful and memorable when they're shared. Wherever I go, regardless of what I do or see, I always find it's the people I meet that make my time spent there so amazing.

Interests

Sketching, sculpting, painting, cooking, baking, sewing, building... I just like making things. I like walking and hiking, going longboarding, doing yoga, meditating, listening to music, going to gigs, reading, writing poems, and just sitting around chatting over tea, coffee, or a few pints.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking breakfast, especially for others. I like drawing people, so I could draw portraits of my hosts if they're cool with it. Anything art or craft related, I would be very happy to offer a hand in. Mainly I hope I can share in some laughs! I'm interested in getting to know people and having a good time together.
