ABOUT ME

I'm studying an MA in Fine Art at Plymouth College of Art.

PHILOSOPHY

"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" Mary Oliver

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It's a lovely way to stay somewhere and get pointed in the right direction. To have a home from home with a like minded friend letting you stay.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My friend went round Japan with it and had a great time. I had people staying with me in Copenhagen, also at the farm when I lived in Missouri. I've stayed at a few places in the States and also with a lady in Japan. It's fun and always an experience to remember.

Interests

Eating, cooking, laughing, snowboarding, skiing, dancing, seeing new places, hiking, canoeing, camping, speaking to strangers and living life before it's too late. I love watching a storm come in, snuggling up on the sofa watching a film, deciding to stay in pyjamas all day. I recently discovered I love painting. So I now paint as often as I can.

Teach, Learn, Share

Warmth and humour are free. Prejudice comes from ignorance.

"Love and forgiveness and peace and courage can be just as contagious as fear and hate" - Wesley Clarke Jr.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A relaxed atmosphere, experiences and maybe a bottle of red.
