ABOUT ME

I'm a south Londoner and film editor who loves meeting new people and showing people around. I would like to think I'm very open-minded and I enjoy listening to other people. You never learn anything while you're talking...
To be honest I hate having to describe myself as it always sounds pretentious...just meet me and you will find out the real me...!
I work as a film/TV editor on features/shorts and documentaries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To exchange different languages, whatever country I'm in. To learn more about people. People are so interesting. And to feel some local warmth on my travels.

Interests

I love cinema, playing the trumpet, watching and making films, reading novels. I love travelling, especially to East and South Asia. Languages is a new interest of mine; I'm trying to learn Korean at the moment. I enjoy FOOD. Korean food, Japanese, Indian, Vietnamese, Turkish, Greek ...almost anything.
I also enjoy having tea in the parks in London....yes I'm tooo English I think....

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you with English if it's not your first language and I can teach you all about British culture and filmmaking.
I would love to learn more languages or if you have any other interests maybe I can learn something too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am very respectful of hosts and want things to be convenient for them. If I stay with you I will buy you a meal to show my gratitude :)
