Hello! I research culture for a living, so I'm always on the lookout for an interesting chat. I also teach at an arts university, so if you're an arty-soul then we'll get on

My main passion is reading. If you want to know where the best beer is and chat about your favourite writer - I'd be keen to help out :)

Happy to show people around the soulful part of London: Hackney

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing seems to be one of the best things the internet has produced. I've not really used it yet, but the idea of being able to connect with like-minded people appeals to my inner-explorer.

Interests

I'm an avid reader of both fiction and non-fiction - and I like all genres of music (especially reggae). I love dabbling in philosophy and spirituality, and I'm a bit of a geek

• literature

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently backpacked around Asia - that blew my mind

Teach, Learn, Share

I've worked for some of the worlds biggest companies - from Facebook to Levi's - so I can tell you all about those weird worlds. And as I'm a researcher - I love exploring other peoples opinions and experiences

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'll be honest. I'm not much of a cook - but I can try :)

Countries I’ve Visited
