Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To meet people; preferably people who won't kill me.
ABOUT ME
I like writing and reading - I do these as much as I can. I also like experiencing new things, places and people - life is meant to be lived.
PHILOSOPHY
Unlike the vast majority of people, I don't see life as a race; it's more like a piece of music, and every part of it should be enjoyed - even the parts we don't like as much.
You shouldn't skip through a book to read the ending - what's the point?
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
So long story short - I got stranded in bournemouth with no where to stay - my friend suggested this site - I set up an account but never actually used it. Months went by until I had completely forgotten about the site when a friendly, german girl messaged me because she was looking for friends in swindon. We met - she didn't kill me, nor did I kill her - and now we are good friends - although I have moved to London.
So now, I hope to find friends in London using this website - it worked for her, why not me?
Interests
I like music, literature, philosophy, coffee and croissants - with marmalade (or waffles with Nutella... mmmmmmm tasty.)
- writing
- books
- literature
- wine
- coffee
- reading
- socializing
- music
Music, Movies, and Books
I like films.
I like all kinds of music - though most music produced after the 90s isn't in my collection.
I love books. I read almost everything - at the moment I'm reading Dickens, but I like Stephen King and Terry Pratchett too.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Published a book.
Teach, Learn, Share
I know a lot about philosophy, in particular ancient greek / renaissance.
My English / grammar is of a very high standard - (because I am an author). I also have a nasty habit of correcting the speech idiosyncrasies of my foreign friends - but on a plus, I can help improve your grammar and enunciation - providing you buy me a coffee or a glass of wine after six.
