ABOUT ME

I'm an easy going person who always enjoys making new friends. Travelling seems to me to be the best way by far to expand my understandng of the world and my perceptions of the people who are in it.

PHILOSOPHY

If you sow the wind, you reap the storm

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted a few people now, and have couchsurfed in Bosnia, Serbia, Israel and Iceland. I've been living in a tiny apartment in Paris for the past couple of years which was barely big enough for me, so I haven't been able to involve myself very much, but now I'm back in the real world I hope to to do a lot more surfing and hosting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met some lovely people through this and seen and done things which I couldn't possibly have seen and done without all the interesting people I've met inviting me into their worlds.

Interests

I enjoy playing the guitar, much to my neighbours' dismay. And the Ukulele. I bought a trombone as well, but I'm rubbish at that.

I'm not particularly accomplished at any particular sport, but I run around a lot.

And I like eating. Eating's always fun.
