ABOUT ME

I'm ready to meet you.

I read this on a book mark:
'I've had some of my best conversations with strangers, she said, because they have no idea who they're dealing with'

PHILOSOPHY

I am always arriving and never departing
When you are on your death bed you won't regret the things you did do, only the things you didn't

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Trying to do more -hosting, surfing and meeting.
Please note the CS site is wrong! It always thinks I'm about 30miles away from where I actually am...I am NOT in Derby!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been surfing beds/spare rooms/couches in one way or another in the U.K and abroad as an artist trying to get about and attend events & exhibitions. I have had a couple of hosts, attended some couch surfing events abroad and now I've had my first surfer -very exciting!

Interests

I am the arty type. I like to see stuff and do things.When in Rome, I like to roam. I love meeting people, MEET ME. I like good food, long train journeys, amazing views, buildings and all that is unexpected. I like missing the things I love so that when I return I can over indulge in them. I love dancing- electro, beats, folk and much more. Yes to wild camping and bicycles. Would like to spend more time on boats, in kayaks and next to the sea! Other stuff I've been know to do- Yoga, rock climbing,4 days cycle rides to Paris, living in a forest cabin, working with not for profit organisations & volunteering.
