About Me

Hi there,

After a brief career as the world's least successful child actor, I now work as a junior assistant in TV production and make theatre on the side.

I traveled extensively when I was a bit younger but haven't gone on a big trip for years and now I'm doing October in Spain and November in India.

What I love most about travel is getting to know the undiscovered nooks and crannies in a new place. I love language and really enjoying learning what I can about local culture.

I'm very sociable and make new friends easily but I also very much enjoy solitude.

I enjoy a night on the town as much as I enjoy cooking and sharing a nice meal with friends. I'm really keen to also discover great theatre, music and workshops to take new ideas back to my theatre company.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm couchsurfing because I want to discover things off the beaten track. I want to connect with creatives around the world to show me the best of their town or city.

Also I'm 8/10 broke.

Interests

I love discovering interesting contemporary theatre makers. The company that I work with most often has a particular interest in site-specific, non linear theatrical events outside of traditional spaces. Less because we're really brilliant and more because we can't afford traditional spaces.

Here's our website: www.goldsatino.com.

Other than that, I love movement based stuff. Yoga, dancing, climbing trees, swimming in the ocean.

While my party days are (almost) behind me, I do enjoy a bottle of wine or seven with friends either at a bar or someone's house - preferably followed by dancing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time I worked at a dog circus. It was pretty weird.
