I used to work in film and TV production in London. I now live on Newcastle Upon Tyne. I help create image libraries for professional photographers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I tend to only have short periods of time to travel. I'd love to spend some time with my host/s whilst exploring the city and indulging in the local nightlife. Making new friends is important to travelling, for me.
I like galleries and good food and fun bars.

Interests

I paint. Oils are my medium. Galleries tend to be my natural habitat. I make a lot of my own clothes. Dabble in ceramics. I read a lot. I listen to a lot of music, usually whilst being terrible at the crossword. All things creative are wonderful I think. Talking to friends on a roof terrace with a spiced rum is a favourite pursuit of mine!

Music, Movies, and Books

Caravaggio, Peter Greenaway, Philip Roth, Hilary Mantel, Nabokov, El Greco, Frank Auerbach, Bowie, Kate Bush, Father John Misty, amongst others...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's always about the people I meet. Every time I go away. Everyone has so much to teach.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I guess I can offer some good company. Lots of stories to share, I like to laugh! Also I love to listen to people's ideas and approaches to life.
I cook, would like to cook a meal for my host. Happy to help when needed!
