Hey, I’m Becci! I’m from a very small British island, in-between England and France, called Guernsey.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m new to coach surfing, but I decided to join the community after hearing of the great experiences that some of my pals have had. It seems like a brilliant way to make new friends and explore new places and different cultures with locals.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy all forms of art and love to read and doodle for fun. I am learning to play the drums with the dream of one day becoming a rock star legend. I also love listening to jazz, the blues, hip-hop, samba, and more folksy styles of music.

Fave music artists include Fleetwood Mac, The Rolling Stones, Etta James, Nina Simone, Amy Winehouse, Neil Young, The Arctic Monkeys, The Libertines, Loyle Carner, Gorillaz, Jurassic 5, Talking Heads, Jungle.

Lots of Kurt Vonnegut novels on my bookshelf. I studied Philosophy and Politics at university, so some books by Foucault and Habermas have an important place, too.

I really like expressionist artwork, in particular, pieces by Lucian Freud and Francis Bacon.

Movie-wise, I especially enjoy watching Tarantino and Ritchie movies. Top films also include things like The Shawshank Redemption, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Fight Club. And most things starring Jack Nicholson, Morgan Freeman or Robin Williams. That kind of vibe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing the very active Mt. Fuego in Guatemala gave me a new appreciation for how Frodo and Samwise must have felt on their quest to Mt. Doom, Mordor.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm keen for adventure and trying new things.
