I am a music-loving, chess-playing, bike-riding, ale-drinking, people-watching, country-walking, pencil-toting anthropologist who likes to talk and listen.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Always think its best to stay with a local, see a place through someone else's eyes.

Interests

I love messing around musically: https://soundcloud.com/lost-and-found-7236305 https://soundcloud.com/palebluesmudge https://soundcloud.com/user-851941479

My PhD is about Christianity in China and Taiwan, so especially interested in everything around that

I think meditation, writing and exercise are extremely life enhancing habits to keep!

Music, Movies, and Books

I suppose I like films that make you think - Stanley Kubrick, Ingmar Bergman, Ken Loach, Wim Wenders, Werner Herzog, Cronenberg, Bellini,...and books that say what you already feel - Slavoj Zizek, Gilles Deleuze, Roy Wagner, Sylvia Plath, David Foster Wallace, Doestoevsky...and music that takes you somewhere else - Radiohead, Llorca, Bonobo, James Blake, Skip James, Wes Mongomery, Max Reichter, Miles Davis, Debussy, Kendrick Lamar.
