About Me

Hello ☺️

A bit about me…

I love going on adventures and discovering new places.
I am interested in learning about other cultures and traditions.
I am involved in my local community through volunteering and community events.
I love cooking vegan and vegetarian food.
I am trying to live a non-materialistic and low-tech life.

I live in Shipley, with my partner Leo and our lovely housemate Em.
There is a small spare room with a futon that you can stay in for a day or two.
It is very easy to get to our house by train or bus from Bradford and Leeds, if you need directions just ask.

I grew up in Bradford and love it so much I can't quite bare to leave it. It has a fantastic multicultural community and is the gateway to the beautiful Yorkshire Dales countryside.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love that you can stay for free, make new friends and see local places you wouldn't usually see...and the hospitality I've received when using CS has been heartwarming.

Interests

In my spare time I like going to see music, bouldering, watching films and theatre productions, story telling events, festivals, dancing, cycle touring, wild swimming, cooking food, making art and singing to name a few of my favourite things.
