ABOUT ME

I always find that I look back on these profile pages a couple of years later and cringe, so I'd prefer not to put anything here. You'll find out about me when you meet me.

PHILOSOPHY

Still working it out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted and surfed, and met people for coffee.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed for the first time in Africa in December 2008, and would be happy to do it again.

Interests

Reading, film, board games, making stuff. I am completely disinterested in sports.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite authors include: Alexandre Dumas, W Somerset Maughm, Kingsley Amis, Edith Wharton, A S Byatt, Patricia Highsmith.

As for films, I'm fairly choosy about what I watch. Ask me.

Favourite bands: The Decemberists, Spoon, Andrew Bird, The National

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked in an orphanage in Kenya for five weeks, which was pretty amazing in retrospect, but highly dispiriting at the time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can make peking duck.
