Hello! I am a creative soul who escaped the corporate world 2.5 years ago after surviving an office job for almost four years... that life was not meant for me! Sending emails does not satisfy my craving for human interaction and deep connection.

Since then, I have been a part-time nanny and part-time creator. I make mini comics, zines and artwork and am looking for adventures to inspire these pursuits.

I am also very passionate about nature and animals, and have been a full-time vegan for five years and counting! I love cooking and am happy to share my creative recipes with you. I also love reading and keeping my body fit and active: running, walking in nature, yoga, and climbing. I work very hard on my mental wellbeing, and I find my art really helps me be mindful and present.

Now, I have left my house and work in London to go travelling!! So - HELLO :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love INTEGRATING into new communities and making new friends. I've been a Workaway member for three years and recently heard about couch surfing so I wanted to give it a go.

ALSO: hearing the stories of others beats staying somewhere with a star-based rating any day :-)
