I am social, friendly, respectful and sometimes creative!

Currently loving Berlin life and its urbanity, its culture, the techno, the vegan burgers, the floemarkts and Pilsners by the Spree. I think this city can be as relaxed or exciting as you wish.
Sometimes I even study and work...
I am really looking to seeing more of Europe while I live here too.

I am usually always outside if it's permitable and like to swim, have dinner with friends a lot, or go to bars and have a lot of long walks.
History/Theatre/Art is a big passion of mine (having worked most of my life in both). I love conversing/learning/understanding anything political, arty, controversial, hilarious or witty.

I used to live in Edinburgh for years, working in University research. Scotland, the highlands and all the eccentric British/Celtic cultural differences will always be close to my heart. Before that I also lived in Bristol and Cardiff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once saved a man's life with CPR. He had a heart attack at the bus stop. It was pretty terrifying when he came back to life actually because he was sick on my shoes - but at least he was alive :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer hosts big smiles, bottles of beer or wine and a happy deep sleeper with no sleepwalking or snoring! :)
