CURRENT MISSION

To finish writing my current novel!

ABOUT ME

I'm a lesbian-feminist, a vegetarian, an espresso addict, a slash writer, a science-fiction fan, an LGBT equality activist, a photographer, and I'm owned by two cats who walk all over me. I also have about 5000 books and a dust allergy.

PHILOSOPHY

Always pass on an act of kindness: never forget an act of cruelty: apologise for stepping on someone else's toes. Also, eat well, wrap warmly, and go swimming at least once a week.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I have only hosted, but that's been a fascinating experience in itself - welcoming the world into my spare room.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I was a kid my parents were SERVAS hosts, and I regularly met interesting people from different countries. I'm new to CouchSurfing, but I'm hoping to have good experiences with people who want to see the world.
