关于我

CURRENT MISSION

To see all the counties of England I haven't yet visited.

ABOUT ME

I've been living back in my hometown of Bristol for nearly two years, after having been away for some time and really appreciating what a super cool place it actually is. I do however frequently feel like I'm the only one in CS Bristol who's originally from the city!

Have returned to studying a little later in life-as it turns out, practically everybody else has as well. Who knew?

PHILOSOPHY

"If you think you're too small to be effective, try sharing a bed with a mosquito."

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've travelled alone a bit, and there's nothing quite like the exhilaration of wandering around a new part of the world and picking up new friends along the way, made possible mostly via CS.

I'm trying to get back into local events here in Bristol and host every now and again, when studying doesn't get too mad. I also try and make sure that non CSers know what a sparkly shiny bunch of people you chaps are!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some total and utter diamonds. Even now. Most of this talk about CS having been taken over by drunk students is exaggeration.

兴趣

Down to earth cities (hello Jakarta, Warsaw), little gigs, little festivals, finding exciting music new and old, fashion and design, feminism, veganism, hiking, indoor climbing, rowing, running, dabbling in other outdoor pursuits (I'll try most things once, as long as they don't involve falling-shudder!), on-off creative writing, tentatively learning to sew, puns both good and bad. Drumming, sort of. Wondering if politely applied radical politics is an inherent contradiction.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Depending on who you ask, I am scatterbrained to an endearing to maddening extent. Considering my track record of missing buses/flights due to oversleep, frequently forgetting where exactly I am and impressively managing to turn ten minute walks into two hour backwater voyages, having got myself across various parts of south east Asia seems like quite an achievement.

教,学,和分享

If anybody could point me in the direction of any lesser known local/national/international women's rights charities then I would be hugely grateful. I currently volunteer on a helpline for survivors of rape/sexual assault which is...well, hard to describe on here but it has made me very eager to get involved with other feminist organisations when my college course finishes.

My background in teaching English may well come in handy if you're looking to improve/practise yours, or for that matter if you're thinking of teaching the language yourself. Or if you're thinking of teaching any group of adults, really. Have picked up enough knowledge of educational theories/developments to hold a semi coherent conversation, totally understand if you'd rather not.
