Mitglied seit 2014
I moved to Edinburgh in 2002 to study at Edinburgh University and forgot to go home! Currently living with my partner René (he's German) on Leith Walk. A vibrant part of Edinburgh that's very near the centre and has a lot of bars/restaurants.

Warum ich auf Couchsurfing bin
We're happy to meet new people, show them the city and discuss life, the universe and everything. We travel a lot so it's always good to meet people from around the world; you never know when you might bump into them again! Hosting : We could potentially host unless (i) you're in a group, or (ii) you want to stay more than 2 nights. We have a spare bedroom in our flat on Leith Walk.
Musik, Filme und Bücher
Mozart to Meatloaf, Bach to Bjork - I have very catholic tastes when it comes to music. As for films and books, the same applies. The last few things I read were a Margaret Atwood novel, a book about tea plantations in the British colonies and my copy of the Economist.
Eine tolle Sache, die ich getan habe
I was once on Bargain Hunt. It's not exactly amazing, but I still have the fleece.
Lehren, Lernen, Teilen
Need something from China? Want to chat business? I'm your man. Oh, I own a luggage brand called ARCIDO : www.arcido.com -- always on the lookout for brand ambassadors, bloggers and influencers who want to collaborate.
Was ich mit Hosts teilen kann
A good overview of the city, and historical insight if you're interested in that sort of thing. Advice on where to go out, and where to avoid. Friendship, conversation, wine...
Meine Interessen
When I'm not working, music takes up a lot of time - playing the piano and singing in a choir. I also accompany René on the flute and will occasionally play the clarinet. Like to go swimming a few times a week as well as the gym, and cycle around Edinburgh a lot. We have a spare bike if you need to borrow it. Cooking, socialising, reading... the usual stuff. I have a philosophy degree and Rene is an historian.
