About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm a very happy, confident, independant soul with artistic flares and creative fireworks. A bit of a dreamer and typicaly picean, I'm affectionate, sweet, funny, ambitious and generally, quite lovely... But far from perfect!

I have also been given a couch or two in my time and feel it's my turn to do the same while I can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been offered a couch or two in my time and while I have my own place I want to offer a couch to those in need!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Now that I have my own (although very pink)couch to any Beijing visitors, I am excited to meet anyone new to the city.

Interests

I love photography, editing film and playing guitar and currently spend most of my spare time exploring with my camera and studying Mandarin. I also love theatre and do miss London for it's amazing shows! Am yet to see what Beijing has to offer in that regard...

I genuinely love meeting new people and while in Beijing I am looking for some happy folk with similar interests for friendship, dates and random ventures.
