CURRENT MISSION

trying to leave my books,vinyls and penguin shaped waffle machine behind....

ABOUT ME

I am

I like wondering streets and hanging out with cats even though they make me sneeze sometimes

I entertain myself by having titbits from books I like in my normal speech which are so borderline people have no reason to suspect any self indulgence

I enjoy trying to understand things and this sometimes makes me unnecessarily cautious which can be a problem because I am interested in too much

I am not good at wearing sunglasses

PHILOSOPHY

“You have to pick the places you don't walk away from.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have enjoyed bumping in couch-surfers wherever I end up being. Whenever there is space I think it should be open to a bit of negotiation- always respectfully of course

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been floating alongside the couchsurfing movement for a while, often ending up at couchsurfing events without really planning it at all. I have also had quite a few people surfing in my life, for short to reasonably long time, but this has all been outside of the CS Coven. I think theres no real reason to drag my feet any longer :)

Interests

I am a nerd and a trouble maker sometimes , though that tends to be quite part time. I like thinking about how to make things better, and like being around people that dont project too many stories on me. I listen to crazy jazz, have been known to read pynchon, but more recently was indulging in a trilogy of dame pat booth- which I found particularly educational , if completely gaudy. I am the kind of person who dreams of having a herb garden but hasn't really ever got there. I have stayed with 3 sets of 3 Pisces boys which continues to astound me . I like being around kids but am fathoms from broody. I like baking, and cooking but tend to tomatoes a little too wistfully for many peoples taste. The first food I ate was an olive and one of my absolute irreversible bourgeois leanings is the absolute joy I get when I find out that artichokes are on the menu.
