*update*Unfortunately due to some extreme circumstances with my family, we are currently unable to host for the foreseeable future. My apologies and I hope to be hosting again soon.*

I am an artist from beautiful Cornwall, UK. I have three children, 9, 10 & 11 who live with me at home alongside our very noisy cat, Flem.
We live in Truro, which is central to Cornwall and a lovely place to visit.
I like music, art, video games, nature, walking, gigs, good food and drinks, mental health awareness, learning about other cultures and teaching about my own.

Please do not request to stay if you are racist, homophobic, xenophobic etc. We are a loving and accepting household and will not tolerate hate speech.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read a lot of Tolkien, sci fi and art history. I love all music, Metal to Hip-Hop to Classical. Movies, I like all genres. I maybe watch thrillers and sci-fi mostly.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 17, instead of going to college, I lived with a Japanese family in Osaka. It was one of the best experiences of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach basic painting and drawing techniques. I also have some experience teaching English as a foreign language. I also have a lifetimes worth of experience looking after children from all different cultures. I love singing and going to gigs. I love sharing this with people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can paint portraits of you and your family. I am happy to clean, I am very good at cooking and looking after children. I'm more than happy to help in the garden or farm, manual labour isn't an issue for me. Likewise, I can provide good elderly care. I can also sing and help with songwriting or merchandising.
