Hi/Salut! I'm a scottish student, studying French and Business Management, currently doing an internship in Marseille. Back home I work at the local cinema to earn money so I can go out drinking and dancing and do other stupid things with my friends. I also do a lot of volunteer work. I'm a member of the Glasgow University Judo Club, and I've competed at university and national level, and I generally enjoy exercise. However I also like to eat - a lot.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

My internship is taking me to Paris for a weekend, so I thought I'd take the time to see the sights and do all the classic tourist stuff. However I need to find a place to stay and hotels are expensive, especially in Paris! So I thought it might be fun to sleep on a stranger's sofa. Also if you want to show me where the Louvre is that would be nice.

Musica, film e libri

My favourite band of all time is Pearl Jam, closely followed by Foo Fighters. My favourite book is Harry Potter (obviously). I have no idea what my favourite movie is because I work in a cinema and I see far too many.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Nothing especially amazing, just lots of little cool things. I represented Scotland at the Youth Parliament in Strasbourg, competed at the highest level of scottish judo, and walked 100 miles for charity (twice). I suppose the coolest thing I've done so far is moving to France - It's my first time living alone and in a foreign country.

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

I am an awesome cook. I worked in a kitchen for a year with two crazy italians. Seriously, I have french, italian and spanish flatmates and they all ask the scottish one for cooking advice. If you give me a place to sleep I can cook you dinner for the weekend. I'm also really clean so don't worry, I won't make a mess. I'm basically Monica from Friends. This brings me to my third point which is that I am basically a walking reference. I love nothing more than making stupid/innapropriate jokes about pop culture, news and politics! Then there's the obligatory language exchange - I'll teach you my bad words if you teach me yours.
