I’m Freddie (30) from London. I’m currently a second hand book dealer and work all over London & the south east sourcing books from shops and dealers. My girlfriend (Georgia) and I are setting off on an American road trip in September & the first stop is New York! We’re looking to meet people in the city and find some places to stay along the way. We’re a friendly couple and love reading, travelling, films, walking & much, much more ! It would be brilliant to find some likeminded people to stay with in New York & the US in general

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people, to find a more sensitive & sustainable way to travel

Interests

I love cycling in London & go to Critical Mass events during the summer. I have also recently started making collages which is, let’s be fair, the dj-ing of the art world. Still, it’s accessible and fun!

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite film: Under the Skin. I love Genesis cinema in Whitechapel & make it down there often for screenings. It’s the best cinema in London by a mile. I’m a book dealer & writer so my room is filled to the brim with books. I’ve always been interested in 20th century American authors and my love of reading was kindled by Steinbeck; these days I read a lot of Juno Diaz, Sherman Alexi, Vonnegut, Philip K Dick, Cercas, Carver - the list goes on faster than I can read !

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

What I Can Share with Hosts

My love of reading, books, poetry. I can turn my hand to a decent aloo gobi & enjoy cooking in general. I hope I’m a calm, kind & considerate person and bring those qualities to everything I do & the places I go
