I am an artist, photographer, house and pet sitter, and aspiring travel blogger! I was born in England and grew up in beautiful Wales so I am Wenglish! I spend my time between London and Wales and have many ventures such as portrait art, photography, and do paid house sits when I am around London way.

I work for myself as I had spent many years working for other people and got very sick of it. I now do my own thing, make my own decisions, and go where I want to go! I spent many years working in leisure as a lifeguard, activity instructor and swimming teacher! After a stint working in the corporate world (never again!) I decided to dedicate my time to what makes me happy rather than what brings in the most money!

I love to be outside exploring, adventuring and seeing new places! I love the countyside but do like to explore a city too - I love the architecture in different places, the history and the art of course! I love an immersive art experince and music, music, music! I love to be around live music - it truly is food for the soul and life itself!

I am an animal lover and love all types of animals - If I had one superpower it would definitely be to fly!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I am currently on an adventure around some places Europe until I go home to the UK at Christmas.. I am spending one month in Budapest, I will then go on to Slovakia for one week and then to Vienna - I had a house sit lined up for Vienna but this is no longer going ahead so I am looking at accommodation options for my stay here between 6th November to the 17th November where I will then be going to a house sit in Eisenstadt, Austria. Looking also for some people to have some conversations with along my journey!

I am also hoping to visit Prague after my house sit ends on the 17th November so will also be looking at accommodation options and people to meet here too.

音乐、电影和书籍

I am a bit of a metal head - I love going to live gigs and festivals! My three favourite bands would be Avenged Sevenfold, Parkway Drive, and Five Finger Death Punch. I have been lucky enough to see all these three of these live. I do also enjoy other types of mucic. I love to listen to Enya, deep house, and love some psy trance and techno too! I'm pretty easy going with music although I do have my favourites! I love music and always have some kind of tune going around in my head! I used to play the violin, and the flute. I still play my guitar a little although I would like to play it more than I do!

As well as a metal head, I am also a horror fan! I love a gory horror and the scarier the better! I could watch movies all day (and have done in the past!) but it is not a habit I like to do often anymore! I love a fantasy too - Lord of the Rings, Alice in Wonderland. If I could meet one director in the world it would be Tim Burton - I love his world! I am also a very big Game of Thrones fan and The Walking Dead - Can't beat good zombie survival TV and Film! Although I am partial to good chick flick and also love a trip to the cinema!

I tend to read more than one book at once - I am currently reading The Goddess Path by Kirsty Gallagher - an awakening book about inner knowing, shadow work, and your own truth. I have just finished reading I am Ozzy - Ozzy Osbourne's first biography - there are a lot funny and gross things in there. If you are an Ozzy or Black Sabbath fan I would highly recommened it! RIP Ozzy X I also like a good Stephen King (obviously) and like to read philosophical books. I am very interested in Carl Jung's shadow work, Deepak Chopra's teachings, and I also love a good trashy novel to lighten the load!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Last year I walked the Camino Frances, one of the routes of the Camino de Santiago. From St Jean Pied de Port to Finisterre. This was a long distance hike over 500 miles over the Pyranees from one end of Spain to the other! It took around 35 days and I stayed in albuerges (pilgrim hostels) along the way. I am not particularly religious it was a spiritual journey for me and it really did awaken something in me that just needed that little nudge to get out!

There are multiple trails to do and I am loosely planning on doing a lot more of them! I'd like to walk the length of Portugal and also walk the Cambrian Way from one end Wales to the other and over two mountain ranges. Although I'll need to brush up on my navigation skills for this one!

教，学，和分享

I can teach you photography and how to draw! I also can teach you some yoga and how to meditate! I can also teach you some ways of how to centre yourself if you are feeling stressed or anxious.

I would love to learn the guitar more as I have been playing for years but seem to be stuck. I tend to play for 10 minutes and put it down - the same things I play over and over again! I love to learn more about many things - the stars, history, culture, stories, personal experiences, cooking, language - everything!

I can share my knowledge on art, travel, and photography. Also music - if you need any help with playlists I have a playlist for pretty much every mood!

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I can share all of the above - drawing techniques - I am a portrait artist but I also can teach perspective drawing, drawing techniques such as scumbling and hatching, I can teach you use of tone and how to draw from life!

I can give photography tutorials - anything from which lenses to use, how to work camera settings such as ISO, shutter speed and aperture and the relationship between them. I can teach you about composition and lighting!

Music - I can show you bands if you are into rock music! I have playlists for any type of mood!

I can also snacks, time, life experiences, hikes, and adventures!
