About Me

Easy going, happy, hardworking, I enjoy doing exercise, eating (will try everything once), reading and travelling, of course!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I signed up for couchsurfing years ago to meet new people when I was living in a different city and ended up using a different programme. My girlfriend used Couchsurfing recently in Malta, which roused my interest in the platform again.

Interests

I love watching foreign cinema! It's a bit of an addiction...I also really enjoy crossfit and eating good food (especially when it's trying something completely new). I love meeting new people too, and like to think of myself as very sociable.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love World Cinema. I like pretty much any music, and when it comes to books, even though I can appreciate a work of literature, I prefer to read action novels that take a minimal amount of thinking. My favourite film is called "Das Leben der Anderen" ("The Lives of Others)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Beijing for one academic year; 2010-2011, and it was without a doubt the best year of my life. I made loads of new friends from different countries, saw amazing things, ate amazing food and experienced a totally different culture not only in Beijing, but also during my travels around China.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love finding out interesting stories about the places I visit, especially when these are tales handed down by the locals.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share any of the language skills I have, I like cooking and the odd deep conversation, if desired.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, China, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, Tunisia

Countries I’ve Lived In

China, Germany, United Kingdom
