Overview
About Me
Easy going, happy to go out but also equally happy relaxed at home or out for dinner.
I like to connect with people from all walks of life and like to exchange experiences with as many weird and wonderful people as possible. I am currently settled in London with a job and pretending to be an adult, like everyone else.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I used to participate by sharing my woeful descriptions of myself with people in the hope that people would be willing to offer me a couch and their extensive local knowledge whilst I travelled around the world in 2012. I used couchsurfing then with great success and would now hope to be able to offer a couch (once I move apartment) but also to interact with linguists and people I'd otherwise not meet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Typed out this whole profile description only for the computer to go blank to then have to do it all again.
Other than that: bungee jump, skydive and get on the back of a Colombian's motorbike to get through a mudslide in the mountains to get to Medellin.
