Hi! I'm Eff, a 24 year old fine art graduate from the UK. I love to meet new people and learn about all sorts of different cultures, and I want to explore and experience as much of life as I can squeeze in :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have very little saved and I'm embarking upon a life as a nomadic artist. It's my dream to travel the world and to see as much of it as possible. I'm looking for authentic experiences, inspiration, kindness, fun
and joy.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reggae, jazz, jungle, trance, steel pan, drums... any live music. I used to play the guitar and I'd love to get back into it. Currently, I'm reading Taoism: The Watercourse Way by Alan Watts. I just finished reading Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Favourite movies: Donnie Darko, The Matrix, The Truman Show, Shrek (all of them), Ponyo

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went for a 30 mile solo hike through a British rainforest, with no previous experience or training. Made it to an observatory and saw 7 shooting stars.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach English online - so I can definitely help with language skills! I'm a keen writer, so I can help with that, and anything arty or creative I can offer advise. Generally, I'm a good listener and I can give advice to any issue (I'll try!). I know a little about philosophy and physics so I can share and talk about those subjects, too. I'd love to learn new instruments! Particularly a bongo or drums. I'd love to learn new languages, and more about the subjects I'm interested! I'm starting out on my stick and poke journey, so I'd love the chance to practice tattooing or accept any advise! I know some yoga and breath-work which I'm happy to share, and keen to learn more about!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories and an ear to listen. I haven't much in the way of material possessions, but I can share my art and gratitude! I can share with you joy, friendship, and laughter :)
