About Me

I'm a working professional, and have been in love with travelling for a LONG time. I've tried, as much as I can, to immerse myself in the culture of the place I'm visiting - whether it's through sightseeing, music, food, art or anything else that comes my way. I'm always up for a new experience as well, and I truly believe that even if we spent the rest of our lives travelling, we wouldn't be able to experience everything that the world has to offer.
But that doesn't mean we can't try, right?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A lot of the travelling I've done has been with family or because of work. I've never been able to experience, through living with a local, the actual experience of staying in a place. No tour guide can give you the benefit of years of living in a place, along with completely honest advice. And if you're nice, you may even get to make friends through your host.

Interests

I LOVE reading, dancing and animals. Those three things take up most of my free time. The tier below them is occupied by music, films, food, writing, discovering new things, aimless trawling through the internet and black humour. The final tier, though, consists of pretty much everything else.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you how to dance. I've tried my hand (leg?) at pretty much every dance form I've come across, so I could teach you a couple of things, at least.
I could write you a five minute story.
I know how to make a mean omelette.
*mumbles something about digital advertising*

What I Can Share with Hosts

I could prepare a meal.
I could put on a dance performance.
I could write you, and two friends, a personalised story based on five words you give me.
I could listen to you, no matter what you're talking about, as long as it's something you're passionate about.
I could make you a list.
