About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get back Home in an awkward and meandering fashion

ABOUT ME

Oh wow. ALL about me, aigh? English born, Living in the Netherlands. 27 years old, just short of 1.80, medium build, believer in being defined by others.

I guess that's not very useful. Maybe it'll help to know I agonize over silly things like making online profiles. Surely most people like to think they are good, free spirited, sociable, have a sense of humor, and so on. I think those things of myself too, but think it best to let others judge how well i succeed.

PHILOSOPHY

don't bother attempting to succinctly state personal philosophies

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well I am happy to have the house guests, but the city where I live isn't exactly the most interesting part of the Netherlands nor do I really have a couch to offer. However, if you're happy with a spare mattress and bedding in the living room/ kitchen, sure be my guest.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I made this account a while ago though haven't gotten much use out of it. My town doesnt attract many tourists. I have couchedsurfed a little, but only ever with my ex and we used her account.

Interests

other than music, books, and film I'm into comic books, rollerblading, philosophy, cocktail making, whiskies, and penguins

Music, Movies, and Books

I hate these kinds of questionnaires, a whole heaping bunch of all three. Ill name a small selection of each if you're really interested.

Music by Bob Dylan, the Books, and Flight of the Conchords

Films by Alexander Payne, Wes Anderson, and Spike Jonze

Books by Kafka, David Foster Wallace, Christian Bok

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled through South India by train when I was twelve, that was pretty cool.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a decent grasp of the English language. If I cant be helpful I try to be useful. If can't be useful i know how to get out of the way.
