About Me

ABOUT ME

I love eating and drinking with friends , but I also enjoy doing new things and meeting new people. Sometimes I'm a bit on the quiet side at first, but can talk a lot once you get to know me or with a drink or two. People tell me that I seem younger than I am - not sure whether this is due to my youthful good looks or lack of maturity. Either way, I don't mind...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted one couch-surfer so far, and really enjoyed it. I think CouchSurfing is great way to meet people and have a bit of adventure in my life even when I'm at home.

I worked as a WOOFER (willing worker on organic farm) a few years ago in Australia, exchanging my labour for accommodation, and I also volunteered on a kibbutz in Israel for a few months, so I think these sorts of opportunities are a great idea.

Music, Movies, and Books

Musically, I like everything from folk to soul to dancehall to electronica. I tend to go more for arthouse and foreign movies, but also like the occasional bad comedy. I read a lot and my tastes are diverse, but some of my favourite authors are Paul Auster, Henry Miller, Simone de Beauvoir.

Teach, Learn, Share

I taught English as a second language in Japan, Canada, Czech Republic and Australia for a few years so I'm very patient with learner English speakers and happy to give some informal help.

Countries I’ve Visited

Czech Republic, Egypt, Germany, India, Israel, Mexico, Morocco, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Spain, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom

Countries I’ve Lived In
