Really, anything I would write here might be quite contrived, a distortion, however involuntary.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet some of the people who make the places I visit what they are, and get a local's vision of the area. To share experiences. To make friends along the way, or at least find some interesting characters to populate my journey.

Interests

Yoga; trying delicious recipes (invented on the spur of the moment, browsing food in restaurants or street stalls wherever I am); photography; art - and creating or deconstructing meaning.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books:
Voltaire - Candide
Kundera - The unbearable lightness of being
Marguerite Yourcenar - Mémoires d'Hadrien

Movies:
Anything by Almodovar
Comedies, oldies (eg Sabrina; Dr. Strangelove) I'm pretty open to discoveries and love going to the cinema by myself purely to be immersed in another's world and try to see it, literally, from their perspective.

Music:
Tons of things- I like most genres, mainly singer-songwriters but also love Outkast and Mount Kimbie- so pretty varied. Very open to recommendations of local music events!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Randomly decided to submit a design for a dress to a fashion show, won the competition and pretty much learned how to sew in a few days to actually make it on time for the show.

Teach, Learn, Share

Yoga; essential oils knowledge; chat; music; drawings
