About Me

Mildly eccentric. Living in different countries and 'taking it easy'. Friendly and contented. Often quiet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I host and I have friends who use this site. Meeting people on here has always been a pleasure.

Interests

I play the ukulele. I like literature, surrealism and comedy. I have a newly found enjoyment of language and I'm seeing where that goes.

  • literature
  • traveling
  • socializing
  • hiking
  • teaching

Music, Movies, and Books

I like ambient, experimental, old rock and jazz mainly as far as music goes. My favourite authors are Kurt Vonnegut, Joe Dunthorne and Alan Moore (comics). I tend to like comedy movies if I watch them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hosted the first Shanghai Santacon!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can play the ukulele and am always willing to give a beginner a lesson. I am also an English teacher, so I can help anyone improve their language skills if they wanted.

I'd like to learn more about hiking and long-distance travelling overland. I have a plan for the future which involves this.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Anecdotes. Puns. Trinkets.
