I currently live on a narrowboat in London with my cat, but at this moment am in San Francisco, tattooing, seeing friends and making art. @pangolin_arts

Before COVID I had spent about 6 years almost always on the road but wanted to create some roots and community so settled into life on the river for a while, renovating my boat. The past year however I have been in Mexico and California more than I have been at home (my cat and boat are being cared for an in Pocket’s case snuggles by a lovely Boatsitter). I would love to meet more people in the Bay Area and have a couple of extra options of places to stay - I have a few stretches of time sorted with a place to stay but also have gaps here and there!

I have travelled extensively in (and tattooed my way across) Southern Africa, especially Malawi, as well as parts of Europe, Thailand, New Zealand, Mexico and California and am so grateful for the friends I have made along the way.

I love nature and animals, chilled conversation with good people and a nice gin and tonic. Amongst other things. Hope to meet some of you soon.
