What to put in such a little box?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like adventure and I like to explore, and couchsurfing offers a whole extra layer of excitement to these things!

I don't have a couch to offer at the moment, but I'd be happy to meet up, have a drink, visit an art gallery, or something similar :]

Music, Movies, and Books

Amongst my favourite films are Hedwig & the Angry Inch, Singin' in the Rain and Princess Mononoke.

I will read anything if it comes with a recommendation from someone I know and like! But I particularly enjoy reading science-fiction and magical realism. My favourite authors include Angela Carter, Ursula Le Guin, Mikhaíl Bulgakov and Gabriel García Márquez.

I enjoy a whole range of different music including 60s pop, riot grrrl, and folk.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I watched an electrical storm form below me whilst climbing Mount Kinabalu in Borneo. Beautiful and powerful.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn a whole host of basic skills. In particular I'd like to learn how to use a sewing machine, cook amazing food, and fix all mechanical things! I'd also like to improve my Spanish.

In return I can:
Show you how to bake amazing brownies and teach you how to spell your name in British Sign Language.
