Hi! I’m Ariella (Katie is my middle name but I use Ariella now). I’m a Fine Art student and writer, from London.

I enjoy spending my time drawing, writing, and making music. I also have a bad habit of collecting random (but incredible) stuff from flea markets and second hand stores.

For sport, I spend a lot of time skateboarding and enjoy escaping the city to hike and swim in lakes. I’ve also just starting rock climbing.

What else? I love animals, plants and old boxy cars. I travel as much as I can, usually hitchhiking but dream of van life (with a dog of course).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling and meeting people everywhere I go.

I am so grateful to everyone who gives their time and home to help travellers and have loved the opportunity to host the people I meet on my travels in my own home.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love disco, funk but also pop punk and hip hop, sometimes techno… basically everything in phases. Currently listening to Laurie Anderson, Robert Wyatt and Lizzy Mercier Descloux

Great movies I’ve seen recently: Mommy, The watermelon woman, Kajillionaire, sweet thing, waking fright, sonita, Paris is burning, after life

Teach, Learn, Share

Let’s share a meal, go for a walk, skateboard together, draw, paint, make music… I’m up for anything
