Graduated Anthropology student at the University of Oxford. I love touring cities, experiencing local culture and cuisine and especially meeting locals. I want to know what /you/ love about your city rather than what Lonely Planet does!

I travel with an open mind to experience the cultural intricacies wherever I find myself visiting!

I'm also a keen hiker and rower, with the occasional foray into reading and playing the piano when I have time!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel the world and actually meet people.

Interests

I enjoy a lot of things in life: I am a competitive rower and love sports and hiking - any chance to just get outside and explore the landscape around me is always of interest to me! I am equally interested in music and academia - I love talking about philosophy and music, especially in an environment where everyone's ideas are heard, and stories can be shared in addition.

Music, Movies, and Books

Big fan of rock - Pavement, Dinosaur Jr, The Stone Roses, The Smiths.

In terms of literature:

Haruki Murakami,
Aldous Huxley,
Martin Amis,
John Milton,
Charlotte Bronte (to name a few..)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Did a San heritage project in Lesotho/South Africa, discovering and documenting cave paintings and assessing their vulnerability to natural/anthropogenic damage. We camped out in the Golden Gate Highlands for a week, exploring various cave sites and a Sangoma village.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to play piano, or perhaps play a little for you?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I want to bring along my experiences to share with whoever hosts me. I hope to document my experiences as part of an ethnographic journal, and I would love to share this with whoever is hosting me.

I have an air mattress and some sofas - you choose what's the most comfortable! If there's time, I can show you the sights around Oxford. If you're into bars and pubs, believe me, there's a lot to see!
