CURRENT MISSION

Not to fall over

ABOUT ME

I'm a postgrad student in Brighton (at Sussex uni). I miss the wild adventures of my undergrad years. I'd love to meet some more interesting people. I miss London dreadfully, go there if you get the chance.

BELOW: this was me two years ago..
Living in South East London, wishing I was studying History but studying Politics instead. Working in a bar in The City (it's at the bottom of the Gherkin, you may know this building). Being in the South East we are not right in the centre of London, but we are about 20 minutes out with 24hr connections.

PHILOSOPHY

I read so many of other people's at the moment that I'm not sure. "It's all so futile you may as well make it fun" would probably sum up how I think though.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couched quite a bit in my second year of uni... not really since then because I lived in a house with no space. Now I have two gigantic soafa in (not so)sunny Brighton that are begging for some use.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been out of action for a while

Bratislava 13th March 2008: Couch surfing meeting in Slovak Pub!
Vienna 19th-22nd March: Hosted by Hanno and Juergen.. coolest guys ever.

Various drinks with various couch surfers in my native London.

Interests

Exploring my amazing city (I wrote this when still in London, now I mainly walk around Brighton and think about how it isn't London), reading for pleasure, reading for pain.. the odd party ;-)

I ran away from marriage to Greece. Whilst I was there I realized that only I am responsible for myself. It's been pretty fun since then.
