I'm a visual artist, teacher of creativity in English, tarot and rune reader and I'm learning Jungian shadow work.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I'm training for a long distance walk from Banbury in England to Glasgow in Scotland to raise money and awareness for the association Dignity in Dying in June and hope to couchsurf on my nightly stops.

I'll be passing through Warwick, Knowle in Birmingham, Cannock, Stone, Buxton,, Manchester, Wigan, Preston, Lancaster, Penrith, Carlisle and Gretna so I'm looking for people who'd be willing to put me up on any of these places for a single night!

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I went to live in Brazil back in the 9O's because of a dream that one of my students had involving me. I stayed for a year and this led to 13 years in Paris...
