I'm currently traveling through Europe for a few days in the run up to Lowlands festival in the Netherlands. I would like to couch surf as it gives me the opportunity to meet local people and learn about their lives and experiences within the city I'm visiting. I also love hosting and think Sheffield hides a wealth of secrets I would love to share

I'm into a range of music from indie rock such as Sheffield-natives the Arctic Monkeys, to mesmerising, ambient electronic artists such as Caribou and Tycho, to the captivating, stirring vocals of London Grammar. I find myself easily lost in great fiction and I like to learn something from the book I am reading. Particular favourites are social commentaries such as To Kill A Mockingbird and The Grapes of Wrath. I also adored the unique insight offered by characters in The Birds by Tarjei Vesaas and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nightime.
