Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What better way is there to see a city through the eyes and experience of someone who is familiar with its nooks and crannies? And what better way is there to discover new things to appreciate about your own city than by taking a newbie round?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every day is full of small lovelies. I don't feel qualified to answer that question! An 'amazing achievement' to one might be the daily grind to another. I do lots of things in my daily life that some might consider 'amazing'.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a pedant in the kitchen and very proficient at imaginative vegetarian cooking; more than happy to teach recipes. I also teach art and life drawing.

I need to improve on the piano, and I am always after portrait sitters!

What I Can Share with Hosts

An artist's view of Edinburgh, cafe-crawl maps, a dance in public.
