About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to try and realise life is a little bit awesome

ABOUT ME

I guess I am a drifter and a dreamer. I have been all my life. I spent most of my childhood travelling around with my parents, going to festivals and playing music.

I currently live in London, I spend most of my time making art and creating theatre and music.

I am addicted to enjoying people! I love to meet people and listen to their stories. I love learning new things about myself through new experiences.

I love to challenge myself.

I love to laugh! I love being silly. I embrace silliness and playfulness...I think a lot of the time we take ourselves way too seriously.

I don't much like filling things like this out...so if you want to know more about me...read on.

One of her best friends writing:
She will transport you to other dimensions with body and mind. Always up for jumping into the unknown and making tea! An easy traveller, travelling buddy and an unimposing guest whom you instantly feel at home with. Her intelligence, wit and heartiness is only outmatched by her deep yet feather-light laugh that will make you forget about all your earthly problems for one moment. She has so much to show you about the world and yourself and is so open to learning about your reality, non prejudicial, emancipatory in her willingness to experience diversity. Yeah.

**** I promise you this was actually my friends description, not just me, trying to make myself sound cool...

PHILOSOPHY

Lets just eat some cake and be done with it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Although I have given my couch to many strangers, and stayed on many couches ....this is is my first experience with meeting/finding Couch Surfing online! I am excited about it.

I think Couch surfing is a wonderful thing to do...if you have the space to do it...then why not?

There is so much kindness and love in the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Ah, I have relied on the kindness of strangers so many times. One of my best friends and I were hitch hiking through Turkey last summer, and we met a wonderful guy who drove us 700 kilometres and then gave up his BED for us both while HE slept on the couch.

I randomly met a guy from South of France in Hyde Park where I was having a picnic with some friends and we started chatting to him.. He was back packing and had just arrived. He was getting ready to sleep in the park. I of course took him back with me and gave him my couch to sleep on. We stayed up all night singing French songs and making a banquet out of the ridiculous combinations of food I had in my fridge.
