CURRENT MISSION

To Paris! I also would like to meet a sloth in the wild.

ABOUT ME

Nerdfighter (one who doesn't fight nerds but rather enjoys the work of two video-blogging nerdy brothers called John and Hank Green), huge Les Misérables fan, barista ninja, sketcher of fictional characters generally looking to the left, fond of people, tea (English breakfast brewed for four minutes, splash of milk no sugar), books, bright clothes and friends. Generally found ruminating over a hot beverage or eating or sketching.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't Forget to Be Awesome! No really. Just be nice to other people, and be nice to yourself, and it's all good. You don't know what battles other people are fighting.

Don't trust anyone who, when left alone in a room with a tea cosy, doesn't try it on.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Participating in couchsurfing so far has consisted of looking at people's profiles are envying them having such wonderfully interesting lives!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far, but looking forward to it!

Interests

Media studies - film, TV shows, advertising campaigns, visual communication. Coffee. Books. Music. Friends. I'm fairly predictable. I like making people feel nice.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite musicians include the Mountain Goats, the Black Veil Brides, My Chemical Romance and Brand New. And then everything from Arabic pop to French indie, just anything really :) I love books and couldn't possibly list all the ones I'm "interested in" but we can narrow it down to anything by John Green and Les Misérables by Victor Hugo. Movies... I think my favourite is Hellboy 2 - The Golden Army; I love urban fantasy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have made some beautiful friends and have been lucky enough to share some wonderful experiences with them such as a roadtrip to the Scottish highlands. I've also seen my favourite band live which was amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can train anyone on how to make the perfect flat white on an espresso machine? I'm also very good at talking about Les Misérables. I would love to get better at French and other languages :) I'll be happy to cook for you (warning: I don't follow recipes, I tend to put everything in the pan and pray) and prove to the rest of the world that the British are not automatically bad cooks! ;D I'll be happy to jam with people on guitar as well!
