CURRENT MISSION

Tentative exploration!

ABOUT ME

I'm Clare, and I work in GBV response.

I call Edinburgh home.

At home, I enjoy stand-up comedy, theatre, and watching bad television in appalled fascination. (Sometimes I watch good television too.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't have a couch at the moment, but would love to meet up with people while I or they travel! I'm mostly based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at the moment - great to meet for coffee, drink, chat or whatever.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used to host when I had a place of my own, I have hung out with several lovely couchsurfers, and am looking forward to meeting more.

Interests

I like wandering aimlessly about cities, and finding out about other people's lives. I'm interested in things that sound boring when listed on a website but are really important to me, like reading mid-20th century novels and children's literature, seeing live comedy, going to the theatre and playing board games. I've recently started knitting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Georgia, I once saw a policewoman on a segway zoom through a park to direct an ambulance towards us after my friend Jess split open her knee. It was awesome.
