Well I'm generally quite easygoing, and have a good sense of humour. Majored in Sociology, so I guess I could do intelligent discussion. Work has killed my brain a little though.

Unfortunately I am now living with my extended family and it's hard to host someone unless there are specific times when someone isn't home. I will be glad to take you around on weekends and weekday evenings though.

Totally new to CS, as I've relied on hostelworld and airbnb, but we all start somewhere yeah?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Was at the front row for Iron Maiden in Sonisphere 2010. Stood there since before the gates opened at 9am until Maiden finished their performance at close to 11pm. To be fair, Slayer played before them so it wasn't as if I was standing there for nothing.

Watched the northern lights butt naked outside a sauna in the middle of a frozen lake at Kiruna.
