About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to book my next flight...

ABOUT ME

At the moment I'm living a semi-nomadic lifestyle, taking short term visual arts work across the UK. This means I'm often in need of accommodation at short notice, and couchsurfing seems a good way of doing this!
I love to travel, and have spent the last year happily hotfooting it around various countries with my boyfriend.
I'm a creative person, and love to make things, from jewellery to hand made cards to my own clothes.

PHILOSOPHY

I just try to follow my gut instinct about most things - sometimes this means I'm a little overcautious, and other times it means the complete opposite!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted when I can, and hope to start my surfing experience in Asia this year!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a few times, and it's been a great experience - I really want to start surfing myself now!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I bought a boat in Laos and floated down the Mekong for four days with three people I barely knew. Our motor broke, but we handled it and carried on floating regardless...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can make a mean Pad Thai... Or chocolate truffles... I love cooking. At the moment I'm on a pretty strict sugar free, wheat free diet so I'd love to share some recipes.
I can teach sewing and jewellery making as well.
