CURRENT MISSION Travel the world to learn to appreciate this life to a greater extent than I already do. Make people's day. Find happiness purely through providing others with happiness. ABOUT ME Anything you want to know ask away. I am interested in women's rights and gay rights although not being gay (nor a woman) myself. I worked with refugees for the Home Office for two years but quit in October 2014 due to conflicts the job brought with my moral ideals. I enjoy the usual reading/writing/film/art to what I consider is the same context that anyone should invite such talents into their life. I love festivals and a diverse array of music but my all time favourite are Fleetwood Mac. More currently I'm loving Bonobo & some of my 90s kid favourites such as Squeeze, Beautiful South, Semisonic, Radiohead etc. The Second favourite group are Talking Heads. In the past enjoyed computer games a great deal but have finally grown away from them a bit. Notably spent a lot of time playing RuneScape (of course, I was the perfect age for it), and later League of Legends. I love animals. Primarily house pets. Basically all of them, but spiders aren't my thing, about the only one I can't do (I think). PHILOSOPHY There is always someone somewhere worse off than me, and therefore I have nothing to be down about.

Perché sono su Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I love hosting and surfing! I try to be the kind of host that I would appreciate so much when I travel myself. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I have been a reasonably active member of the CS community for some time now, though haven't had a chance to use it that much recently. I often use workaway and helpx to volunteer whilst I travel too. Have met up with some other CSers along the way just for drinks and have found it a great comfort when travelling in areas of the world where I am less familiar.
Musica, film e libri
I am a keen reader of factual books (at present) about South Asia, somewhere I hope to one day reside though I don't know exactly where yet. I am presently on the move hunting for that place though. I like films, particularly bad cinema because I find them funny. But also good films of course.. I don't want to list too many films I like as I fear many are a bit cliché.. But they're good films.. But I will say I love nature documentaries however do struggle with anything but Attenborough doing the narration! I particularly enjoy political films, usually foreign political films, and speculative realistic political sci-fi films.
Una cosa straordinaria che ho fatto
Spent time on a farm in Romania learning how to live life without the benefits of the westernised world like having running water or Internet - AND LOVED IT!
Insegna, Impara, Condividi
I am happy to aid people in furthering their English skills in return for basics of other languages!
Cosa posso offrire agli host
I can offer hosts an easy going and open minded stance on the world, I am happy to openly discuss any topic. Sometimes I find I talk too much but I am also good at listening. I also like to feel like I deserve the pleasure of staying with someone so am more than happy to help out with cleaning and cooking and every day chores about the house.
I miei interessi
I am interested in Human Rights, stemming from my work for the government with asylum seekers in the UK. This is my key passion and I hope to work in this field in the future whether through voluntary/paid work or research. Also a particular favoured activity is writing ridiculous and usually inconsequential reviews on tripadvisor
