I am a happy, travel loving artist. I really love meeting people from all over the world (as most on Couchsurfing!), also love the outdoors, organic growing, hiking and camping, and am passionate about music and art. I love sharing bands, having great conversations, learning languages, cooking and sharing food.

Also happy in my own company, and am happy to give hosts their space if they want it. I'm clean and tidy, and will respect your place as if it were my own :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great way to travel! Love meeting locals, and being able to share wherever I may be living with others if I'm in a permanent place.

Interests

Big music fan, love talking and learning about new bands, and absolutely love live music. I play a little guitar, and want to learn accordion.

All others - hiking, nature, languages etc - the same, I like to spend time with others who share these interests.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Feel pretty lucky to have seen some wonderful things. Volunteering in Maharashtra, and seeing the sunrise on my first ever long distance train ride in India was special. Meeting the most amazing people who have become family on my travels is also up there. Very grateful!

Teach, Learn, Share

French, English language I can teach, would love to also learn and practice more French, and learn Spanish.

Would love to learn more guitar, and any accordion - can teach a few guitar chords to beginners, and card games!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking, and can cook a meal to say thank you for your hospitality, and of course, conversation, stories, a bottle of wine, book recommendations, travel recommendations if I've been there, and hopefully, just a nice time and cheerful company.
