CURRENT MISSION

hang about in a satisfactory manner

ABOUT ME

I'm a half English - half French, political science graduate who was, until quite recently, studying Chinese and teaching English in Shanghai. I am currently on my way back to Europe to start a master's program in business. To get there I built a carbon fibre tandem and am currently riding it across Central Asia with a friend.

PHILOSOPHY

Make the most of the opportunities that come your way and dont let things get to you. I feel that the best things in life are generally unexpected, so I avoid planning too far ahead and dont mind changing my plans.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Im starting to get a decent amount of experience couchsurfing. Ive hosted a couple people in Montreal and Paris and a few in Shanghai now. I crossed Canada couchsurfing and then in surfed in Peru for ages while I was out there climbing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

About 30 hosts, 10 surfs, soon to change!

Interests

Mountaineering, rock/ice climbing, cycling, rugby, live music, hanging out at a bar, etc. I'm more into laid back evenings, like chilling with friends over a beer, going to a good gig.

Music, Movies, and Books

Douglas Adams Hitchiker and others, mainly been reading textbooks for uni... Otherwise films: Monty Python, Dead Man's Shoes, 99 francs, mainly indie films, not generally into big budget stuff. Music-wise im pretty open to everything and anything, not much of a fan of country and rap but even there there's stuff I enjoy. Ive been listening to the Smiths and Joy Division quite a bit recently, saw decemberists in vancouver last year. missed out on getting mgmt high through ignorance and laziness. mainly ignorance at the time. lots of regret there.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ending up knee deep in a crevasse and seeing a deep blue hole open up beneath me.

Disturbing sights in the metro.

cycling from Shanghai to Paris: made it to Almaty, Kazakhstan, so far.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmmm, I could teach French or take you ice climbing perhaps. I could also probably get into a political conversation with you for far too long but thats probably not recommended.
