About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To defrost, therefore traveling to warm countries (hopefully)

ABOUT ME

This is box is very small and it is a box...but one thing is that I turn into a Chinese rhino overnight,when I eat pancakes and recently chocolate cake, because of my allergy to wheat/gluten.I know, I have not used my epipen, but it seems exciting!

PHILOSOPHY

"A woman with no perfume has no future!"Coco Chanel

"Dont open your mind too much, or your brain will fall out!"

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We have a cool share house in East London and we are opening its doors as a halfway house! Please feel free to contact me!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We just hosted our first official surfer...not including the other random lodgers. Was great! I recently went to Lille and Berlin where I surfed and went to a Cs meeting. I managed to play Pictionary and Trivial Pursuit in French. We have hosted a few more after this.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled with the circus as a costume designer and fun facilitator! I spent new years outside in -15 degrees with millions of people, fighting for a beer, discovered what I want to be in Ireland, got picked up physically by a strong man in Venice beach, LA to show the audience how strong he was and hosted fashion week in Mozambique in 40degrees dragging passed out models backstage by their feet!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a very skilled sewer and pattern maker, now learning hat making - but I can make anything from lingerie to a tailored suites and organize events in two ticks!

I am starting to learn Spanish and I would like some help with that.
