Overview
About Me
Unassuming, open minded, easy going and looking for more culture and new experiences. Love to meet new people.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I have recently gone freelance as a costume maker and assistant in film, TV and theatre. This work means I travel across the UK (and hopefully across other countries in the future!) And I much prefer to stay in people's homes than bland and unwelcoming hotels.
I also work as a film extra from time to time which means i also featurw in front of the camera, its great fun and i have plenty of stpries to tell!
I'm also looking to network with other people in and outside of the industry and gain some new culture.

Teach, Learn, Share
An introduction to opera if you like! I'm passionate about singing and staged opera with it opulence and grandeur.
I'm also a skilled seamstress and can help you repair or even alter something to fit you. I make costumes for said opera in my spare time as well as repair vintage clothing.
