I am a performance artist who has recently been doing a lot of travelling, and am continuing to do so mostly in the UK and Finland with my work at the moment - it would be amazing to have some people host me whilst I am travelling and perhaps attend my performances/ exhibitions and meet fellow creative minds. I have previously hosted people in London and if I settle again, I would like to continue hosting but at the moment I am a bit of a nomad and am not hosting!

I have recently started using They/Them pronouns. I know not everyone is familiar with using gender neutral pronouns but I will appreciate it if you try and correct yourself if you slip up!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing has changed my life, it has offered me the most amazing experiences and I have met incredible people from all over the world. I want to share my world with you!

I am planning to travel some more in 2018 and am always looking for new friends and people who know the places I will be staying to show me around and share their hometowns with me, so if you can't offer me a couch, I'd still love to hear from you!

I would love to meet creative people and other artists, I am hoping to collaborate with some of the people who host me, but I would also like to meet people with all different passions and life experiences to share with me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can chat away in English if you want to practice! And I'd love it if you could share your own culture and language with me and I can offer the same in return.

I can teach you how to make an origami water balloon!

I also want to collaborate on art projects.
