I am a 35 year old Scottish lady person living in London. I'm from Scotland but have been in London for around 9 years. I work in Communications and do public speaking coaching. I'm pretty creative. I was an actor for 12 years and now I have a website/social media machine which promotes positive graffiti and street art. I have a mild obsession with the song Love Cats by the Cure.

I have handwriting like an 11 year old boy.

Julia David and Jessica Hynes are my comedy heroes.
I love funny people - I love meeting new people - I'm a bit of a fun seeker.

I don't like blue cheese, mushrooms or dickheads

I'm also not very good at writing profiles.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am planning an adventure to the USA for around 6 months to a year to make a book about positive graffiti and street art in the USA - I'll be looking to visit 15 cities and it would be amazing to meet some like minded people and surf some couches on the way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a year and half putting together my first book and it was published in October 2013. I loved the process and the whole experience. I was really proud of it. The best thing that happened was - I got an email from an old Graff writer in New Zealand who found the book in his local library and had been carrying it around with him for a week to show his buds - he used to do positive Graff so he loved it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I think I'm good company, I'm helpful and respectful, I can cook and I like exploring so I would be out and about being curious most of the time.

I also have a repitoir of rubbish jokes.
