ABOUT ME

https://www.facebook.com/sian.watson

My passion is talking and trying to understand people's perspectives, views and to hopefully learn a bit as well.
I'm always up for a deep conversation and love it when people will take me up on that.
Themes that I am really passionate about are anticapitalism, environmentalism, liberation - but I'll also chat about basically anything too ;)

I'm a pretty responsible person growning up as the oldest of 4 (now 5) but that doesn't stop me from intense partying now and again!

PHILOSOPHY

Meeting people from other countries is the best! I love hearing about their life/experience that maybe totally different or closer than expected to the one I've had.

I don't have prombles about other people's choice of lifestyle / Race / Background etc... everyone is welcome.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have many year experience in London's punk/party scene so showing someone around all the gigs, social center, squats and pubs of London that you dont get to see is something I love.

In Colchester I am still learning the area but have finally learnt the Univeristy's mad room number scheme so I can show you any part of it. Working around my academic schedual :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed with many people with out couch surfing just by shear luck and trying to get out of the rain in London.
All postive, mad adventures, from squats to mansions.

I am now able to host properly in Colchester as I finally have a place of my own so CS get in touch!

Interests

Music, nature, conservation biology, squatting, hitchhiking, raves, politics, anticapitalism, direct democracy, smashing patriarchy/racism/homophobia/transphobia/speciesism/oligarchies, cycling, vegetarianism/veganism, crafting/sewing, Adventure Time, cartoons, comics, ect.

Cooking -Growning up in a house full of vegetarians made me love veggie food and as a vegan I am always looking for new meals to share and new ideas :)

DIY - be it in the form of making a t-shirt or working in a student run food co-op I belive that autonomous self organization is a great tool that can benefit everyone.

Travel is my new found love after getting my first passport and escaping England!

Home brew (tried and failed need someone teach me ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching a person throw themselves over a heavily pregnant woman to prevent the police from hitting her. Things like this and everyday little events makes me realise that people can be so good and just if they want to be.

Teach, Learn, Share

I play drums so I'm always up for teaching someone the basics and its so easy I can show you in minutes.

I can also show you how to make a really simple stencil for t-shirts/walls/whatever or how to use a sewing machine!

I'd love to learn more languages since all I have is English and if you want to practice on me go for it! Half of my friends at uni are international students so my accent is pretty understandable (I hope).

Cooking is one thing I love and would like to know more recipes from other places.

Aside from all that I can swap ideas, thoughts and veiws and hopefully learn about yours too.

Things I'd like to learn

Facepainting - I'm good with makeup but facepainting looks amazing! Love to learn

Plumbing - Meaning to get my parents to teach me but hey anything I can pick up would be useful
