I live in Birmingham, and I work for a charity.

I have re-registered after a few years (I can't remember my reason for deactivating!).

I previously used this and met people in Lebanon and Ghana. I tend to just use it to meet locals if I have some free time during trips.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am particularly interested in meeting people who are based in the countries I am going to soon, or who want to go to Pakistan- I go regularly so can advise you if required and maybe even gatecrash your trip :-)

I live in Birmingham and whilst I can not currently offer a couch, I am happy to meet up and show you around the city and the surrounding areas like Stratford upon Avon, the Shropshire Hills, Ludlow and Ironbridge.

Music, Movies, and Books

Iranian and Korean are my favourites, but I will admit I consider Pitch Perfect to be one of the best films of all time, along with She's The Man. I'm confident Amanda Bynes will make a full scale comeback soon.

Music: I listen to anything but I particularly like Regina Spektor, No Doubt, Nelly Furtado, Muse, The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Shakira and Beck.

Books- To Kill a Mockingbird, The Brothers Karamazov, The President’s Gardens
