Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to couch surfing but I would be happy to host anyone needing a place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Wandering down stairs, making an early morning coffee and being slightly perplexed by who the complete strangers lying on our living room floor were. My housemate was a couch surfer.

Interests

Mildly obsessed with climbing and generally just being outdoors.

• horses
• coffee
• outdoor activities
• surfing
• rock climbing
• physics

Music, Movies, and Books

This could be quite a long list. I tend to read everything and anything, although favourite authors include Dostoyevsky, Conrad, Camus, Aldous Huxely, McEwan, Hesse. Movies wise, it's hard to pick favourites but I reckon, if pushed, I'd put `Withnail and I' somewhere near the top of my list. With music, again I'll listen to anything (except modern R'n'B). Although a few favourites include Radiohead, Portishead, Talking Heads, (You know three heads are better than one), UNKLE, DJ Shadow, Buck 65, Mumford and Sons, Pink Floyd, Bonobo, Quantic etc etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing a Brocken Spectre (a circular ring of light that can appear around your shadow) while descending the Italian ridge of the Matterhorn.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm happy to ramble on about particle physics if you really want. Alternatively would be more than happy to take anyone climbing.
