CURRENT MISSION

To see as much beautiful art and design as I can. Experience new places and cultures.

ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

This planet is astonishing, perplexing and marvellous.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I went interrailing whilst at college and found couchsurfing a wonderful way to connect with people and their city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In Amsterdam and Berlin in 2013 - both lovely experiences.

Interests

Making things. Reading good books and watching great performances: getting immersed in a story. Cooking and trying new food (so long as it's not too spicy!). Stroking cats. Spending quality time with friends and family.
