Hello, my name is Catherine Drysdale and I am a mathematical modeller who follows opportunities where she finds them. I enjoy meeting people with different beliefs to me and I always try to have an open mind when listening to other people's views. I adore nature, art and reading.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new interesting people and to fight against the cynicism in this world!

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite book is the Petty Demon by Sologub. I love music from IAMX, but I've recently gotten into Daniel Teluggi who's an electronic music composer. In terms of movies, My favourite movies are La Mala Educacion by Pedro Almodovar, Cesare et Rosalie by Claude Sautet and Letter from an Unknown Woman.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I know that a lot of people have done them. However, I am still riding the high from finishing my PhD. It was the most hard work that I've ever done, and showed me I was capable of doing hard work.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy teaching mathematics. I can make a tasty dinner catering to vegan and vegetarian dietary requirements if needed. My signature dish is a lentil lasage and a risotto with sage derby cheese. Also, as quite a spiritual person, I like learning about other people's spiritualities and would be happy to share and practice some meditation also.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hopefully good conversation, nice food and the potential for a nice friendship! And maths knowledge if they want it!
