Hi! My name's Charlie. I grew up in West London, and have spent most of my life there, aside from short stints in other British cities (and a stint in Germany from '23 to '24). I'm now a journalist after graduating from university (literature and languages) in 2019, and have reported from across Europe and Iraq (where I hosted my first CSer). You can find some of my stories in The Guardian, BBC News, and other international news media.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To have a good time, for a long time 🙃

兴趣

Good stories.

音乐、电影和书籍

Music: anything good! I like Elgar as much as Koffee or Drake.

Films: foreign films and classics. La Haine; In the Mood for Love; The Godfather; Blade Runner

Books: again, anything if it's good. A lot of philosophy, but otherwise good non-fiction and classic novels

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

In 2021 I walked an ancient pilgrimage route 450km across Iraq

教，学，和分享

I'm happy to help with English language learning and share some of my favourite recipes.

I'm keen to improve my French, German, Ukrainian, and Arabic language skills.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I love to cook, so very happy to share my (basic) culinary skills. And otherwise love to listen to and share stories.
