Hi everyone ^_^ Currently in DC until Christmas!

I'm a PhD student from Newcastle, always interested in seeing more of the world. I'm as happy indoors with Netflix and a hot cocoa as I am going out - I love a good art exhibition and there are so many museums I want to explore. I love a fun night out, either clubbing or pubbing. I really like long chats over coffee or whiskey, and I'm a truly terrible dancer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been on couchsurfing for a while now, and I've loved all of the ways I've used it. You get to experience a place from the view of the people who live there, and that's truly incredible. It's really lovely to meet so many new people, and everyone I've encountered is so incredibly kind, passionate, and 'alive'.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Bitter Ruin, Sammy Rae and the Friends, Melt, Couch
Movies: The Act of Killing, City of God, Life is Beautiful
Books: A Small Place, The Great Gatsby, Flowers for Algernon, Erasure

I love finding more things to love! Show me your things!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Joined couchsurfing - I've met so many friends on here, and seen so many sights. It's given me a lot of joy. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love any sort of discussion, especially if I can change my mind on something! I'm a good cook and would be more than happy to cook for you. I do a mean satay stir fry, roasted aubergine, and a spicy bean casserole.
