I've had some great hosts, and now that I have the space, I'm trying to return the generosity and pass it on to others when I get the chance. I'm now more active on other platforms but I'm yet to see a real community built up like on couchsurfing before it become flooded with dead profiles. https://www.bewelcome.org/members/mrbenn NOTE: I try to respond to all requests promptly but this isn't always possible.

I was part of a great CS community in Bournemouth and now I've moved to France I'm enjoying the same international community here

Kick Ass, Garden state, Amelie, Superbad, Juno...and lots more, My key enjoyment is comedy and laughter :) Too much to narrow down, I generally feel all music has it's time and place...but I enjoy ska&jazz (The Cat Empire, La Bottine Sauriante), rock (eg. Kings of Leon), classic (The Doors, Led Zeppelin)...something with a beat! I struggle to sit down and read, but when I have there's some good books that stick in the mind. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, War and Peace, and An Utterly Impartial History of Britain and more recently the power of now
