My background is in design, illustration and marketing. After flailing around with my pet portrait business, I’m on a mission to help fellow creatives, mostly introverts like myself, who struggle with the ‘icky’ feeling that comes with self-promotion.

I’m currently researching the links between personality types and creativity and how we can use our self-knowledge to make the most of our creative style and strengths.

You can get an idea about the stuff I talk about at my blog: http://thecreativeintrovert.com/blog or say hi @creativeintro on Twitter!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm spending 2019 travelling around, with my laptop and a suitcase. I'm not just wanting to see the world and live in different places; I want to meet the people there too!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Lots of chat about BIG ideas. Philosophy, the nature of things, reality, art...

Not so interested in world affairs (haven't owned a TV or paid much attention to the news in a decade) but I read a lot and spend most of my day with a podcast playing in the background, so I have plenty to talk about.

I can also provide the odd free yoga class and can give you an astrology reading, if you're up for it.
