About Me

Hello Everyone!

So I am 26 Years old and currently Living and studying in London! I am a photographer and am often travelling and making work. I am currently on my first year of my masters in the Royal college of Art.

I am planning a trip to Jerusalem around February/March and am looking to stay with people and enter the lives of the people in communities there and explore.

If you are someone who is interested in working with me then please do get in touch!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I haven't yet utilised couch surf, Up until now it's always just been winging it hostel to hostel. If I am very honest I am looking to enter the peoples lives of the countries I visit, but as I am back studying and only working Part-time again I am also on a budget. I think couch surfing may provide me with the opportunity to enter the lives of real people of the places I go and find ways to hopefully explore photographically the communities there.

Interests

What can I say, I am interested in many different things, it feels weird trying to place them into boxes. I love the people around me, work hard, am constantly creating new work and thinking in those terms. I love sports, I love challenging myself, I love meeting new people, I love moving from place to place. I like to read, write, chat.
