CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I love to tell stories and to listen to them - that's why I became a radio producer. I work the BBC World Service finding stories from all around the world and interviewing people for the radio - I really enjoy it and feel very lucky to be doing it. Before that I was a student of literature and philosophy. I am at my happiest in the cinema, cooking a big meal for friends or outdoors swimming.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have hosted a few times in the past and it was always a pleasure.

I have been hosted in Berlin, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Vienna and Venice and am so grateful to everyone who took me in. All were amazing people.

Interests

Escapism in all its forms - literature, film, music, travel, art and ideas. Radio, making it and listening to it. Cooking and learning to make new dishes - and cocktails! Playing guitar and singing.
