About Me

Londoner born and bred.

I want to experience more of life and the variety of things this beautiful world has to offer.

I am friendly, energetic, independent and compassionate with a good sense of humour. I like socialising. I love food. I like a little me time too.

I enjoy some of my creature comforts but I crave freedom and creativity much more.

I want to be an explorer of the world and enjoy social and emotional connections with the people I meet on this journey of life.

"It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for – and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing. It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool – for love – for your dreams – for the adventure of being alive." - Oriah Mountain Dreamer

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Curious about people, places and culture. I want to see and do more around the world. I'm on CS to meet new people, create friendships, learn, see the universe from a different angle and simply enjoy life.

Interests

Cooking, food, playing the drums (I'm learning), people, design, art and architecture, photography, listening to live music, festivals, films, cycling, exploring the outdoors, parties and the undiscovered.

Music, Movies, and Books

I could list a load of bands/singers. Genres I like are quite varied. I like rock, indie, some metal, punk, classical, electronic/dance, some pop, some reggae and I might have some time/need convincing for jazz. I like listening to up and coming/unsigned bands too.

Some films I like are: Into the Wild, The Shawshank Redemption, Amelie, The Lion King, Inception, Shutter Island, Interstellar, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Motorcycle Diaries, Jumanji, A Muppet Christmas Carol, almost all of the comic book adaptation films (DC/Marvel), this list can go on and on. My film taste is varied. I'm not a natural horror fan but I'll give it a go from time to time. I like Hitchcock. I don't watch films consistently because I like being out and about more, especially when the sun is shining but I do love watching a good movie alone or with friends.

I recently read a book called "1000 Days of Spring" which really sparked my imagination and excitement to go out and travel. I don't read often but I'd like to. When I can get some time on my own with a good book I can be absorbed blissfully for a few hours or even a few days.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The miracle of being born at 6 months and surviving to tell the tale! :-)

Teach, Learn, Share

If I can be me and give something good back to people then I'll be happy.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My cooking, life experiences so far and good company. Spontaneity, mixed with warmth, mixed with excitement, mixed with an open-mind. My views and knowledge of London :-)
