I love hiking running and the outdoors generally, coming from the lake district!

Also love to both hear and play music, cook and share food, and of course meet open minded people from around the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to stay with locals who will help me appreciate a place better and get off the tourist trail to really see how people live in the place I'm visiting. I really like the couchsurfing spirit of exchange rather than transaction. You host me, I cook for you, everyone learns from each other and we have a good time. that's what it's all about

Interests

I'm really into music. I would love to share playlists and recommendations with other CSers and learn about the music from their country. I love to play piano and guitar and have a good jam session.

I love to cook and to try the cuisine of whichever place I am in. Food is such an important part of culture and sharing food with people is my favourite way to get to know them!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies - before trilogy, city of god, 12 angry men, la haine, the godfather, trainspotting, parasite, 2001, taxi driver, battle of algiers, whiplash

Books - prisoners of geography, the spirit level, the Great Gatsby, half of a yellow sun, entangled life.

Music - a pretty wide variety depending on time of day, mood, etc. I love to dance to house/disco/afrobeat, or chill to old school hip hop, psychedelic rock, indie rock, jazz or soul. I also love making music and playing keyboards and guitar, always up for a jam when there are other musicians and instruments around..

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm willing to share and learn about anything! I can teach English, French and maths, recommend music and books, and of course share travel stories! I would love to teach and learn vegetarian and vegan recipes of different world cooking styles. I like to talk to people and hear about whatever it is they are passionate about.
