Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Sharing stories, special moments and knowledge. Meeting people from all over the world is the absolute best thing!

Interests

I like good political chat with a gin and tonic or a cider. I'm ALWAYS up for finding new music, old bookshops, a good cup of coffee, staying up really late and just feel free, I would love to host people with the same interests as me.

• socializing
• music
• backpacking

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite band is Swedish and called Kent, they sing in Swedish but would definitely recommend a listen as they have some top tunes. I like Empire of the Sun, Beach House, Bastille, Benjamin Francis Leftwich, the Killers, Bon Iver, First Aid Kit, James Blake, Keane, Oasis, Veronica Maggio and much, much more. Music has saved my life so many times.

I mostly read academic papers and the like because I am at university, but I love listening to a range of podcasts when I need to get away from the academic world for a little bit. Other than that I like Paulo Coelho, Ernest Hemingway, vintage poetry and Jo Nesbø.

I hate scary movies, and I even find the Harry Potter movies scary (I have a problem, I know), but love a good comedy or just having a movie on in the background while just having a good chat. All reality TV is my guilty pleasure and I am not ashamed of it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's not possible to choose only one thing..
Bastille day on the Champs Elysees a couple of years ago, my year abroad in high school in Pennsylvania, a weekend in Copenhagen meeting the most random, but amazing people, that will forever give me good feelings.. and much more I can tell you about if I stay with you or you stay with me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Very good location on the Royal Mile with lots of Bagpipes, Cashmere and Scottish Whisky. But, also more practical things like a fully equipped kitchen, washing machine/ tumble dryer, towels, blankets etc.

Although I only recently joined CS I get insane amounts of requests, and I do appreciate meeting people who I have something in common with and not only looking to save money on their trip, but also wanting to meet me. If you are going to stay here I would like if you contribute to our home in some way as we are opening up our place to you.
