ABOUT ME

I love trying new things and seeing new places and especially meeting new people. Glad to see things from another perspective and walk a while in someone else's shoes.

PHILOSOPHY

Smile lots. Eat good food. Learn from your mistakes (but make a few).
"...good company, wine, good welcome, can make good people" Henry VIII, I, iv

Don't Forget To Be Awesome

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Loving having people to stay, and testing my culinary skills on guests. I feel I have to prove to foreign visitors the food in England isn't as bad as they expected!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All really positive, I've had great people to stay with my old housemate and on my own and my first surf experience in Edinburgh was really good fun.
Met some ace people in Bordeaux and gone to some great meetups.

Music, Movies, and Books

I watch on average 3 films a week, my favourites change often. I can watch The Philadelphia Story, Before Sunset, Leon, When Harry Met Sally and The Beat That My Heart Skipped endlessly.

Music, open to suggestions my collection is very 80s cheese and 90s indie.

My favourite books are The Secret Histrory by Donna Tartt and House of Sleep by Jonathan Coe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Free theatre in Central Park - it's a wonderful experience and I met some great people in the ticket queue at the insane time of 6am!

I cycled from London to Paris!

Teach, Learn, Share

I've started making short films, self taught which is a hilarious learning curve. Anyone who has anything to teach me would be appreciated! Anyone who wants to try being involved would be welcome too.

I love languages and speak french and can get by in spanish. Would love to learn more!
