I live in London and listen to a lot of music. Right now I am enjoying living in the city because of its music scene and mixture of culture. I go out to gigs a lot and eat out a lot. In my down time I like to read and watch films. I've just moved to Brixton and it has great book shops and record shops so I'll be relaxing here for the next few months. I will travel somewhere again soon.

*two years later* ... much the same since I last wrote on here however I live in Elephant & Castle a few miles down the road and am regularly visiting new countries albeit for short stays as a journalist at festivals.
PHILOSOPHY

'I need my sleep. I need about eight hours a day, and about ten at night' (Bill Hicks).

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host; I surf; we meet.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have Couchsurfed in Australia and New Zealand and had a fantastic insight as to what it was like to lead a young and vibrant lifestyle down under. I enjoyed meeting my hosts and my hosts friends all of which had a real refreshing attitude and enthusiasm for life. In South America I travelled with other Couchsurfers who really alerted me to the infinite opportunities provided through couchsurfing. I was greeted by many wonderful hosts and invited to great house parties. Every single experience I've had from encounters with other members of Couchsurfing has been extremely positive and valuable.

Teach: If you're a novice I can teach you how to plan a backpacking trip and recommend some top places to visit. If you've already got that down I can recommend some places in London to eat, drink and socialise.
