Hi! I'm an art student currently studying in London. I was born in New Zealand but moved to England when I was 2, still a baby, and grew up in the Midlands, near Birmingham. I've been living in London studying for 3 years now, apart from the last semester which I spent in Vienna! It's given me a real sense of meeting new people and my small place in a very big world. I enjoy making costumes, reading, and dancing! Just ask if there's anything else you want to know! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just joined Couchsurfing because I really want to go to Salzburg for a conference on Flann O'Brien, the Irish writer, and to be completely honest I really can't afford a hotel or bnb! Plus I always love to meet new people and find out interesting things. I love to see how everyone lives, as it is always slightly different! Now I'm integrated into the community, I'd love to host people too. I look forward to meeting and talking to you!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Broke onto the roof of the Barbican on my 20th birthday - as we got up the ladder fireworks started to go off on the other side of London
