Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Having had a very mixed experience in hostels, from the pleasant to the downright atrocious, I'm now more interested in meeting locals and seeing things from a less 'touristy' point of view.

Interests

Reading, writing, painting and various other artistic endeavours, music, baking, sight-seeing, photography and long walks on the beach ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite music changes depending on my mood; sometimes I'm all for foot-stamping, head-banging club music, other times I'm sagely nodding along to soul and blues or relaxing to the classics. Plus who can resist some good ol' 90s boy band hits ;) Books share a similar fate, I'm usually game for anything provided it's interesting and well-written. Not the biggest film connoisseur, but I will admit a weakness for anything comic book-related.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Erasmus in Germany! Hands down best year of my life, it's what really got me interested in travelling and couchsurfing :D

What I Can Share with Hosts

As mentioned in my interests, baking is something I love to do, but I also enjoy cooking of all kinds, and am not averse to the kitchen sink afterwards ;) Other points in my favour are that I don't snore, am a tidy creature and can appreciate both conversation and comfortable silence.
