Yo! I like to keep these things short and sweet - I'm a social spirit, enjoyer of many types of days and nights (loud and quiet), have been previously described as a rainbow snowflake, unicorn and firework (not necessarily in that order). I left the ratrace of London to start making my way around the planet, learning and teaching wherever I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because I want to be! There's billions of people on this wonderful lump of water and rock, and I want to get to know you all!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - I'm a trained sound engineer, so I don't particularly have a deadset preference. When I'm on the snowboard, it'll be a mix of dubstep, metal and ambient (weather dependent). When I'm driving it'll be something I can sing to. When I'm sleeping it might be classical.

Movies - I used to work in film postproduction, so this is a tough one! Top 5 that I can think of straight away (in no particular order): Moulin Rouge, Akira, Howl's Moving Castle, Alien, Macbeth (the newest one with Michael Fassbender).

Books - A Man Called Ove, Alice In Wonderland, A Long Way To A Small Angry Planet

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've just completed my first winter season as a snowboarding instructor, and have progressed in that one season from no qualifications to gaining my SBINZ level 1 and childrens certification. I even took my level 2 exam and missed it by one mark! By far that's the most amazing thing I can think that I've done yet.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to be able to learn another language with someone, it's a life goal to be bilingual! I'd also love to learn to surf and skateboard, to follow up with my snowboarding. I can teach snowboarding and theory of it, I'm pretty mean with technology (from my degree) and am happy to share in any of that knowledge!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My personality! I'm usually up for a good song, a bit of exploring, eating in new places - the usual bit. Apparently I make darned good brownies too - there's marshmallows involved and EVERYTHING. Of course I'm also happy to pitch in with cleaning, handywork, looking after things - whatever I can do to repay the favour really!
