I grew up in Leeds, UK and currently based here, but with a medium-term plan to move to Germany. I love spending time with my cat MonsterTruck, my partner Sole (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/sole_dykes) and cooking food for my friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing makes a lot of sense to make travelling nicer and cheaper, and makes it easier to meet new people and practice my languages! I am glad to be finally taking part in it and I would like to host people in my home in Leeds at some point.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have pretty wide-ranging taste in music, from dreamy pop to the most obnoxious grindcore and seemingly everything in between! I love discovering new music and sharing it with others.

Reading has always been very important to me. I read a lot of philosophy and political thought (favourites include Deleuze & Guattari "Mille Plateaux"; Marx "Capital"; Federici "Caliban and the Witch"; Barad "Meeting the Universe Halfway"). More recently I have been trying to read novels as a way of helping me learn Italian and I'm currently part way through "Harry Potter e la pietra filosofale" and Pitzorno "Ascolta il mio cuore"

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some coding if you’d like. Also I really like trading cooking and bread baking tips. And, I'd love to cook you a nice meal :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Definitely meals! It would also be nice to play some music together if you're interested (I play the piano, and a little guitar)
