Hi! I'm an adventurous and keen-thinking explorer, who likes to read, write and research. I'm passionate about music, food and visual culture, and love spending my time appreciating, discussing, pondering and experimenting in these, and my always glad to have another's thoughts/input!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm eager to see the world and meet new people; the essence of living is experience not static fixity. As a young graduate anthropologist I know one thing for certain, and that is that you can never know what you don't know, but I'm eternally curious and want to! In doing so I hope to break lingual and cultural boundaries and find new people and places with which to spend my days.

Music, Movies, and Books

I say you cannot judge something as a work of art unless you know it's context and have first acquired a taste for it! That's a pretty broad attitude however, but I love finding new works and genres that challenge my tastes. I love music as varied as Western classical, from Bach to Phillip Glass, and more recent classics such as The Beatles, David Bowie, The Velvet Underground and Kate Bush. I also love traditional African music, all sorts of electronica and contemporary indie and psychedelic/experimental rock or post punk. But what's in a genre?
I like movies that don't make sense, make me think or make me laugh hysterically.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As an inquisitive mind I'm a lover of all things cultural, and am eager to learn and experience these. I am also an avid cook and love cooking for others, as I believe to eat the cuisine of a place is literally to consume their culture. I love art, stories and music and would be eager to share these with others and to hear/see/experience theirs. These loves are probably only surpassed by my love of wine and fine conversation!
