Overview
About Me
I am travelling Europe currently.
I studied Architectural Technology but am intermitting for a year and starting Architecture in September.
I am very creative, very Arty, I love sculpture and Andy Goldsworthy is one of my most favoured Artists. If you have not heard of him look him up I'm sure you will find his work beautiful too.
I have an afro, I am a little shy at first but once a day has gone by I'll be use to it all.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am on couch surfing as I do not have enough money to stay in hotels and hostels and I think its brilliant way to meet new people and experience different cultures.
Interests
I am interested in all kinds of things. I am really into exploring all kinds of ideas and cultures. I am very into sustainability and green energy and because I grew up off grid I know a lot about off grid living, so if anyone needs help with grading, digging holes, or building, then I'm your gal.

Music, Movies, and Books
My favourite music.. I dont have, I like all kinds, I love Drum n' Bass, Bossanova, Classical music, I love listening to pan flutes before bed, or binaural beats.
I listen to a lot of old school music when I study, like queen, the monkees, Joni Mitchel, and motorhead, RUN DMC, all kinds.
My favourite music at the moment though is Bossanova, its so relaxing and I can sit and paint to it with the flush flicks in tune.
My favourite books are;
- The hundred year old man who climbed out of the window and disapeared... this is the most funniest book and soo well written.
- Inkheart, Inkspell and Inkdeath.
- Charlie and the Chocolate Factuary
- Game of Thrones
- Animal Farm and 1984
- The secret Garden
My favourte movies.. I watched a film called 'Dancer in the Dark' with Bjork in it and it was such an amazing film it bought tears to my eyes.
I don't really have a favourite though, but my favourite genre is Sci-fi.. I think I have seen almost all of them from when they started coming out.
I love space documentaries, or nature documentaries, i don't really watch much TV other than that.
I love the theatre, I studied drama, and I had to learn a lot of theatre history, i love Jacobs and Oscar wild and plays from the Jacobean era.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
One amazing thing... Survived.
No, well my house burnt down 2 years ago and took with it all our possesions and 5 of our loved animals. 4 dogs and a cat. I went through alot of pain, not knowing who i was anymore, and where we were going to live, and feeling such loss and anxiety because of self blame and grief. And so one day out of nowhere, after years of studying art, I decided to apply for Architectural Technology so I could have the knowledge to rebuild our home. And well it was a success i got 3 unconditional and 2 conditionals, so i decided to go to Brighton.
This was a massive achievement because I have severe Dyscalculior and no one ever thought i would pass my maths, and even though i only got a D I still got an unconditional and passed my first year with a 1st. And now i am travelling exploring the world and will be changing to architecture next year as i think it would be a much better suited course for me.
Teach, Learn, Share
I want to learn as much as I can while I am on this earth, and I hope to share and teach as much as i can of what I learn and of what I know.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share my gardening, construction and mathematic skills. Also my artistic creative skills, and general help around the house skills. Anything you need doing, I'll do my best to do it.
