(Spins in a leather chair reading a book)

Oh, hi.

I’m an english teacher based in Oman, but I try to keep busy and always like to meet new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of getting to know people who can tell you a bit about the area.

Interests

CULTURES - This isn't something I usually think about myself, but it's a decent way to wrap up a whole bunch of things I like with just one word.

LANGUAGES - I really like talking about endangered and dying languages, and how they can regrow.

GAMES - I think games are a really under rated way to get to know a place and its people. Plus, there's video games and board games and also fort building. I'm great at all of these.

Music, Movies, and Books

Hmmm I think I'll just pick a few

Saga (obviously) - it's a comic book space-opera that deals with themes of familyhood and refugees.

Oroonoko - it's quite an old book about an African prince who gets caught up in the slave trade.

I really enjoyed Sandman, and that goes in this section twice, because it’s a book AND a series.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I made a gingerbread house with drawbridge once. That really got my blood pumping.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm literally a teacher - that's my job. Plus, one of four siblings, so you know I've got sharing DOWWWN

What I Can Share with Hosts

My charming company? Also reciprocity and payment. I’m not a wizard or anything but I’ll help you out
