Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couch surfed in Beijing and Kyoto. I originally set a couch surfing profile up with a friend of mine, so it was a joint thing. Now I have decided to host and give back! So have set up my own.

I like a lot of music! But some of my favourite albums are:

Favourite piece of music is probably Rhapsody In Blue - Gershwin.

One of my favourite books that I have read is Wild Swans by Jung Chang. Other favourites include - Nothing To Envy: Real Lives In North Korea, Born On A Blue Day, Always Looking Up, In The Key Of Genius.

One of my heroes is Richard Feynman! (he gets a special mention in this section because of his greatness)
