Music, Movies, and Books

Music - classical, swing, blues, jazz, irish, and keen to expand my musical horizens.

Books - I'll read pretty much anything barring horror/chick lit. I've read a lot of sci fi/fantasy, and have come to appreciate borrowed books whilst living overseas - my friends have become my library which has been great as I've read many books I might not otherwise have read.

Movies - anything but horror. ...and you may regret sitting next to me in a suspense movie - I jump!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Singing in Westminster Abbey and Disneyland, learning to play ragas on the violin in India, hiking through the lush green interior of Fiji, seeing my first shark whilst diving eeek, eating Indian street food and seeing the masses of flowers at New Delhi's flower market, landing in Kiribati - an island so small you can't see where the ground from the air, swimming through caves in central Vietnam with only a head lamp for light.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can introduce you to some of Ho Chi Minh City's great restaurants - very happy to help you eat. I love Lindy Hop/Swing dancing and learning about other dance. I'd love to dance with you/teach you the basics/take you along to a dance class/listen to some great swing music and meet other dancers. I love music, always happy to play/sing/listen.
