Hosting me: All clichés aside, I am flexible; I can live the Harry Potter life and chill in the closet under your stairs for a night no problem :P

I am not here for a free couch (neither should you be), I am here to make friends (whether you're the Lannisters or a tutu wearing gorilla). I am friendly but please don't mistake that for anything other than friendship (for you sexsurfers!)

Requests: Only last minute please, that way I feel benevolent in helping those in need haha :) Tell me if you're a musician, a cook, or that flying trapeze tutu wearing gorilla; I'd love a show! :P

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1. Make friends: I have already made some great friends both directly and indirectly thanks to CS.

2. Return the kindness to people: Take a little, give a whole lot

3. Learn : Teach me anything! Like a new way to keep my cereal crunchy after pouring the milk

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saw the king of the animal kingdom and my life flash before my eyes in Tanzania

Teach, Learn, Share

LEARN:
Teach me a new way to brush your teeth, SHOW ME THE WORLD!

SHARE:
Jokes,
Drink,
Food,
My supermarket's finest undiscovered cheap cereals (I stock up on them before they realise that they've made a huge mistake pricing it so low for so long!) ;)
