**PLEASE READ THIS**:
I don't host men.
I can only host ONE woman for ONE night.

This is because of an agreement with my landlady.

I'm a doctoral student in English, working on the British poet and novelist Stevie Smith. I blog about Stevie Smith here: http://parrotsatethemall.wordpress.com/

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Academic travel for conferences and research visits can be expensive - couchsurfing's a really good way to reduce research costs and swap knowledge at the same time. I've couchsurfed with wonderful hosts in Leeds, York and Hartley Wintney.
