Very bookish but very sociable - somehow manage to balance the two! Most of the books I read are by authors from everywhere in the world except my native England, and it feels like high time to actually see the countries in the flesh rather than just reading about them.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Stupid as this might sound coming from someone who wants to travel everywhere, I don't like the idea of being a tourist. Couchsurfing sounds a much better way to glimpse what it's like to live in the country in question rather than merely 'visiting'. I'd like to host myself, when I have my own place.

兴趣

Being bookish sort of gets you interested in everything. Vague, I know, but I'm generally pretty interested it whatever's in front of me.

音乐、电影和书籍

Music: I'm easily pleased. Most played genres are folk and rap. Favourite artist at the moment (and for a good while) is Akala (English rapper).

Movies: Old and new. I love going to the cinema and I love movie nights at home. Easily pleased again, although I'm not brilliant with very slow-paced films.

Books: Not enough space here. Mostly into twentieth-century authors from Central and Eastern Europe at the moment.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I recently quit my job and moved to Prague to get a teaching qualification. Doesn't sound like much, but was a pretty big thing considering my substantial lack of any travel experience beforehand!

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I'm relaxed, sociable, and will tend to be very interested in whatever country I'm staying in, so will be pretty receptive to any conversation or ideas or excursions etc. I'm not just using this as a 'free hotel' service!
