Perché sono su Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Can show people around Glasgow; I've lived in Edinburgh too so can point you in the direction of the last few good pubs left there. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I stayed with Monika, and Aneta, in Warsaw and Ieva in Vilnius, it was all fab and definitely best way to get around
Musica, film e libri
I am reading Bernadette Devlin McAliskey's biography. I love novels that bring history to life, big sweeping epic stories that explain the social and political realities of a certain time (especially 19-20th century, especially Russia or Scotland). Spy novels are my favourite too. John le Carre. He is a genius.
Una cosa straordinaria che ho fatto
saw my little sister grow up. yeah, CHEESE eh. but she's pretty cool. she used to be a very loud, podgy laughy baby with a big head. now she is like a whole Person! She paints absolutely beautiful pictures.
Insegna, Impara, Condividi
I can teach a bit of russian. I find almost everything interesting, apart from sports, and am fortunate to know a lot of inspiring and fascinating people in Scotland, so life is never boring, thankfully. I want to learn bike mechanics, more about photography, dancing, philosophy, other cultures and literatures.
