About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel a little bit more :)

ABOUT ME

I am a friendly outgoing person most of the time who can make conversation with just about anyone :) Other times I am introverted. Many people say I can talk with them on a wide range of topics. I like a few drinks from time to time but not too much 😜 I have a deadpan style of humour where I say many things ironically (so often don't take me at face value). I can safely describe myself as good company 👍

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed a few times in Sao Paulo with some cool guys. Also throughout a trip through Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium

Interests

My hobbies include scratching myself, standing in queues, and dealing with bureaucracy.... Just joking!

Actually I like the following:

-I regularly make my own beer and mead, and wine.
-I like classical music, especially from the baroque period. I like plenty other kinds of music too.
-I like reading history and philosophy.
-I love to keep up to date on the politics and current affairs of other countries and my own.
-I love to cook, and it is also true that I like eating. I have a large collection of cookery books and very much enjoy experimenting with new foods and recipes both savoury and sweet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing the Igauzu waterfalls and stromboli volcano erupting.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am fairly up-to-date on philosophical anthropology: about self and other identity. It is my chief area of study. If you'd like to know what I think, you're more than welcome to ask!

I used to be an English teacher too.
