Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Have couch surfed and hosted a few times before signing up, love the concept and everyone I know associated with it!
Interests
I love travelling, meeting new people, experiencing new cultures. Just came back from 7 months living in Almaty, Kazakhstan working with British Council and teaching English. I spend my time listening to music, making films, watching films.

Music, Movies, and Books
I like films and music. books, not so much (except for Russian literature which is fab.) Favourite directors include Wes Anderson and Lars von Trier just for the contrast.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
!? um... the grand canyon was pretty cool, most 'amazing' thing I've done was being involved with creating the first European festival that's happened last summer in Almaty, and with the Edinburgh Movie Production Society, teaching Mongolian kids to make films.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach English (worked as an English teacher in Almaty for 7 months!) or a bit of French/German/Russian (although I'm still very much learning!). also have taught kids filmmaking in Ulaan Baatar...
