ABOUT ME

I'm a 24 year old arts graduate who is living back at home in the small, working class Midlands town that I grew up in, about an hour outside of London and I spend 99% of my time terrified of the future/what to do with my life, but I'm getting there! I spend a lot of time on my bicycle and making lists in my filofax. I'm easy to get on with and easy to live with, and I'm used to sharing my space with a lot of people (I currently share a room with my sister, which isn't really cool at 24, and a house with my parents, 2 teenage brothers and my dog). I'm a bit lost at sea at the moment in regards to The Future, so my passions are music (in particular the bands Neutral Milk Hotel and the Mountain Goats), some areas of the art world, writing, LGBTQ issues and equal rights, advocacy, drawing, photography, DIY scenes and culture in relation to both art and music, Holsten Pils beer, Camel lites, pretty much any vegetarian food with cheese on it, exploring places on a hell of a cheapo budget and meeting new people. I smoke sometimes, drink sometimes, ride my bike a lot, look after myself and my friends, and make a really good vegetarian curry. In short: I prefer bikes to cars and Holsten Pils to almost everything else. Avoider of acting my age. Lover of my Filofax and lists.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

No couch as of yet.

Interests

I have a fair amount of interests despite having no direction: music, drawing things that don't look like the things they're supposed to, learning, reading, going on long bike rides and instantly regretting it, Holsten Pils and other such beers, some areas of the 'art world', DIY culture, food, writing lists, shows/gigs/some festivals, coffee and stupidly flavoured teas, taking pictures and constantly forgetting to get the film developed, adventures and sleep in around a 70/30 ratio.
