I have been living in London for 9 years now and I am not ready to leave yet. :)
I am fluent in French and English, in addition I have some basic knowledge of German, Italian and Spanish. I studied a bit of Portuguese too. So fear not, if your English is not top notch, we will somehow be able to communicate (given you speak fluently one of the languages listed above).
Apart from being good at languages, I am easygoing and open-minded, left leaning and queer.
Naturally adventurous and curious, I often find myself taking the untrodden paths.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

after so many years spent in London, I feel like I have lost touch with the continent. Now that I have more time to travel, I would like to visit as many countries as possible (especially european countries).
CS is surely a great way to meet like minded people.

Music, Movies, and Books

books: Just kids, la vie devant soi, a Moveable Feast. Gothic literature.
music: anything and everything from jazz and blues to electronica and chamber music...I once went to a grindcore gig, yes I did!
I am very fond of the 4 strings instruments (banjo, cello, double bass and the ukulele)
movies: Wings of Desire.
I'll watch and listen to anything as long as it's articulate and engages the senses.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

cycling in London. (believe me, the streets of London are like a battlefield for the 2 wheeled commuters)
One crazy thing I would like to do: hitchhiking my way across Europe.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can take you around London for a bike ride. From time to time I like to join Critical Mass for a ride and you will be very welcome to join us, you can always rent a Barclays Bike.
I am not the best of cook but if you are are, i'll be happy to learn.
I play the ukulele and own a few, I am willing to teach you a few chords so that we can join one of the many London uke jams. You'll see, it's laid back and good fun, no need to be an experienced musician.

What I Can Share with Hosts

easy going and considerate i'm always happy to help.
if you are willing to show me around I can be a good hangout buddy.
