I don't actually live in London anymore. I just don't know how to change my city because I'm awful at these things. Hence the stinginess in accepting guests - it's not who I really am!

In actual, modern, up-to-date news, I'm currently working on a PhD in Edinburgh. Originally from Scotland, but I lived in London for a couple of years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a cheapskate (& I realise I'm confirming a national stereotype here).

Interests

I didn't realise the interests appear in the profile in reverse order. So please don't be alarmed by the front-loading of wine and coffee. I can function without caffeine and alcohol.

Also, please don't be alarmed by the presence of politics, law and cricket. I don't insist that we talk about them.

• wine
• coffee
• politics
• music
• cricket
• history
• law
• football

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - Folk rock, jazz and R&B, but I'm a 2000s indie child at heart. Bach and Handel when working.
Books - William McIlvanney, JG Ballard, Carson McCullers

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recorded a CD, for which I wrote and played everything.

It wasn't very good though.

Teach, Learn, Share

Dreadful jokes. Trombone. What else could you ever need?

Oh and I know plenty about London, Edinburgh and Glasgow (three best cities in the UK) if you're visiting and looking for tips.
