Currently at the University of Sheffield studying German, Dutch and Luxembourgish!

Feel free to drop me a message and I can probably show you around Sheffield if you want to hang. I know plenty of great places to go for food/drinks!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have surfed a couple of times and it's been brilliant! Couchsurfing is a very eye-opening experience and I recommend that everybody tries it properly at least once. Hospex is an amazing idea!

I've barely hosted, but now that I've moved into my own place I'd definitely like to start and pay it forward!

Interests

I used to play bass in a emo/indie/punk band, and run a small DIY record label. I currently make my own electronic music.

I love eating food..... I'm willing to try almost anything!

Also a bit of language geek... I've learnt German and I can speak it fairly well - I'm not fluent but I'm better than just being able to hold a simple conversation. I study German and Dutch at university, and have done modules in Russian and will be doing modules in Luxembourgish. Lanugages are fun!

Music, Movies, and Books

//Music//

Emo, Screamo, Indie, Punk, Alternative, Hardcore, Mathrock, Lofi hip hop
(Mostly genres with DIY Punk ethics) | Don't judge me.....

If you're on Last.fm you can compare your music taste with mine here: http://www.last.fm/user/pizzanomics

//Movies & TV//

I'm into comedy TV shows, like Peep Show, The Office (UK), The Inbetweeners and Misfits. Nathan For You is also absolutely hilarious. UK TV panel shows are the best (Never Mind The Buzzcocks anyone?). I'm also interested in documentaries too. Louis Theroux is the one.

I don't really watch films........

I'm not massive on reading... :(

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went Interrailing around Europe for 40 days! (2015)

I took part in another hitchhiking event for charity! Hitching from Sheffield, UK to Split, Croatia. (2018)

I've taught English in Austria, and worked as a communications intern in the Netherlands.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to learn languages, so I'd love to try and pick up a few phrases of your language, as well as teach my own (English) and attempt to teach a bit of German!

Learning new cooking techniques and recipes is also fun - as well as eating......

What I Can Share with Hosts

Plenty of weird and wonderful stories from hitchhiking and interrailing through Europe!

I really enjoy cooking, so I'd be more than happy to prepare food for you - providing you're cool with it!

I love playing music and I'm always down for a jam if you have instruments!
