COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

New, so no experience yet

Interests

Music: I like Reggae, Punk, Hip Hop, Soul (classic stuff). My music tastes are quite old fashioned, my favourites tend to be older examples from the styles mentioned above but there's some good new stuff too.

Art: Painting's my favourite medium, I like a lot of classical art as well as the modernist trends. Latin American and Caribbean art have a lot of brilliant but underrated examples.

History and Politics: My interests are in social movements (eg. The French Revolution) Socialism, Race.
