I asked my friend to describe me and she said "you are like a wise old monkey, like an Orangutan". She is twelve (hence the "old") and doesn't know much about monkeys. Not all my friends are 12 year olds.

I am a wanderer at the moment, I love just walking around new cities, working with community projects and learning about how differently people live. I do a lot of improv, like to play boardgames, cook warm, comforting veggie food and chat about books or documentaries or thoughts or boys or who is the best waxer in town (:P). Planning to go to drama school.

I have just spent 4 months in Hong Kong and New Zealand. I loved it, but very excited for the crazy culture shock that is about to come my way in LA after so long being a vagabond.

Music, Movies, and Books

Jarmusch, Micheal Shannon, umm...Man, everything I want to write sounds pretentious. Ok, I like animated TV, surreal films and I listen to a lot of different music.

The Internet, Courtney Barnett, Tank and the Bangas, Ane Brun, Keaton Henson, TV on the Radio plus others.

Bukowski ...Diane Ackerman....Max porter....George Saunders...Margaret Atwood plus more I can't think of. I miss having a bookshelf more than clean plates or a wardrobe or space in the fridge.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
