CURRENT MISSION

To find sunshine!

ABOUT ME

OK so everything below is still true but I have now relocated to Lisboa for hopefully a few months (because sun and 1 euro beer).

I'm currently doing/trying to do/failing a PhD in Computational Biology (yes it is as boring as it sounds). Since I spend 8 hours a day staring into computer screens I try to spend the rest of my time travelling/exercising/meeting friends/drinking beer and generally doing anything else that's more fun and less nerdy than my PhD.

PHILOSOPHY

Impulse!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Me and my flatmate live in the centre of Nottingham and have 2 couches available. I'm free most evenings and weekends to show people around the sights of Nottingham (I guess we have something people call a castle?). Failing that there's always the cafes and pubs!
