Hello! I grew up in the countryside of Berkshire in southern England. I started singing in choirs as a child, and now am completely surrounded by music!

I moved to Bristol 4 years ago to study Biology and have completely fallen in love with the city. It's a great size, intimate yet exciting, urban and green, and best of all the people who live here are super friendly and kind. I'd love to show you around!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and make friends around the world, and experience local cultures from the people who know them best.

I would love to meet and share my experiences with you, learn about your city or show you mine.

Interests

I spend the majority of my time playing, writing or listening to music. I perform classical music with friends, particularly early music from England, France and Germany.
I love spending time walking, particularly if there is a nice pub or a dog involved. I also enjoy scuba diving, sailing and cycling.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite music is going to be pretty tricky to fit in here, but to give a taste I listen to everything from Bach to Beach House, Techno, Jungle, Hip-Hop, Radiohead........

I watch a lot of films, but can't say I'm a massive film buff. I really like the Coen brothers, Wes Anderson, and also watch a lot of documentaries.

I love reading, although I wish I spent more time doing it. Have recently really enjoyed Murakami, and Thiong'o.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Perform in an opera at The Royal Opera House in Covent Garden.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you how to play the violin or show you how to make music with a computer.

I would love to learn little bits of other languages, and broaden my perspectives.

I can share with you my favourite parts of the city, and stories from my travels!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Lots of awesome music! But also, I would love to share some of my favourite meals from England, in exchange for some of yours of course!
