Here for a good time, not a long time, so have a good time, the sun can't shine everyday.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and experiencing new things. The best part of travelling is taking in new cultures and learning!

Interests

Anything active, music, food, dancing, deep discussions that you forget about the next day, adventures, learning languages and sharing culture.

Music, Movies, and Books

My reading has been mostly academic for the last few years, so my current list of favourite books is limited to textbooks and study guides, although I do recommend The Internet is a Playground by David Thorne if you ever need a good laugh - "Strata Rules" is excellent.

I've been told I have a rather eclectic taste in music, so anything from pop to jazz! I have a special place in my heart for oldies, rock 'n roll, indie/alt and acoustic guitar.

Probably Disney movies, because who doesn't want to watch a movie you can sing along to?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spend three nights sleeping outside on the South-West coast of Italy, including one night on a roof in Sorrento!

I also ran Cinque Terre in flip flops.

My Favourite Cookie Recipe Ever!
* 1 cup butter, softened
* 1 cup white sugar
* 1 cup packed brown sugar
* 2 eggs
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
* 3 cups quick cooking oats

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, cream together butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in oats. Cover, and chill dough for at least one hour.

2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. Roll the dough into walnut sized balls, and place 2 inches apart on cookie sheets. Flatten each cookie with a large fork dipped in sugar.

3. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you're overseas, the go-to is Maple Syrup, but I've also been known to travel with some local craft beers from whatever city I was last in. And if all else fails, I'm a great partner in crime for adventures and always know how to have fun!
