ABOUT ME

Hi everyone

I'm Felix, a third year Modern Languages student at the University of Bath. I get really self conscious writing profiles like this so I'll try to keep it short and sweet!

I love traveling independently, and I do it as much as my schedule allows me to. I like keeping busy and I get a real kick out of meeting new and different people.

I'm involved in a lot of support and campaign work for the LGBT community in my university town in the UK. Next year I'm organising workshops in secondary schools in my local area to try to combat homophobic/transphobic language in the classroom and it is something that I am very, very excited about. I also want to go into education one day, and think that teaching is a really underrated profession.

I tried learning to juggle once but I was crap, so I stopped. I'm techically qualified in Thai massage too, but I haven't done it in YEARS and would really like to meet someone who could help me get back into it...

I promise I'm really nice.

PHILOSOPHY

I take a positive view on life, and hate saying no! I think you should try everything once and make the most out of what you've got.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've couchsurfed a few times in France and I've also hosted once or twice when I was living in Orléans. I also used to attend the social events for Couchsurfing when I was living in France last year.

Interests

As I mentioned, I'm passionate about LGBT support and campaign work and am heavily involved in this on a local level in the UK. I have a healthy interest in politics, too, and am a member of the British Green Party.

I love live music and meeting new people. I do not like doing nothing, and am always trying to keep busy in one way or another...
