Whether you just want to make new friends in unexplored lands, believe in reciprocal altruism, or have always depended on the kindness of strangers, couch surfing is a bloody brilliant idea. (Hidden quote origins = bonus point)

My taste in music is pretty wide ranging, from classical (I play the cello) to cheesy, country to musical theatre...etc Last book I read: Kafka on the Shore - Murakami. I’m also listening to Stephen Fry (re-)read me Harry Potter on Audible at the moment. THE most relaxing thing Movies: I love a classic romcom (e.g. When Harry Met Sally, Notting Hill), a psychological thriller (e.g. Silence of the Lambs), a good documentary (anything by David Attenborough, Icarus, Dawn Wall, The Vietnam War, Tell Me Who I Am, etc), an animation (The Road to Eldorado, How to Train Your Dragon), the list goes on... Podcasts: I’m a big fan of a podcast - my favourite would have to be No Such Thing as a Fish (run by the QI Elves)
