CURRENT MISSION

To be a good global citizen and have a laugh while I'm at it

ABOUT ME

General enjoyer of music, food and laughter

PHILOSOPHY

Dancing, cab rides, cocktails and mudpies. Read into that what you will, anything I write here sounds idiotic.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am very new to CS2 Project, so my contribution has yet to be realised - I hope it is soon though! I have hosted many folk in my house without CS so figured I may as well encourage even more to do so through this!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have hosted a wonderful couple from Belfast but unfortunately have been in transit alot over the past year making hosting difficult. Excited about hopefully having my first surfing experience in Prague.

Movies: Waking Life, Baz Lurhman's Romeo and Juliet, Moon), V for Vendetta, Sorted, Dancer in the Dark, most of the Wes Anderson movies, esp. Bottle Rocket

Music: Too difficult to summarise really, but right now am listening to alot of Sebastien Tellier, Ravel, Thom York and Boards of Canada...this was written some time ago...NOW I am onto all things Chromeo, Jazztronik, anything involving Erland Oye, disco in all it's guises from Thelma Houston to Chaka Khan to Crazy P, some silly Japanese techno and Fink, to name a few.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Swimming alone in the phospherescent bay (I have no idea about the spelling there) just off Puerto Rico; climbing Table Mountain in the dark; climbing Adam's Peak in Sri Lanka with about 5000 others to watch the sunrise. Teaching in Japanese schools!

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Gosh I'm not sure I have much to teach, although I've helped many a comrade with university essays in the past!

One day I'll be extraoridinarily clever I'm sure, but for now my expertise lies in sounding like I know what I'm talking about when I really don't. That's what a politics degree does for one.
