Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love talking to interesting people and finding new experiences

Interests

Mountains, sea kayaking, hiking, trekking, snowsports, nature, environmentalism, conservation, samba drumming - oh, and a dash of science geekery.

Music, Movies, and Books

All three please! Indie, electronica, folky things by and large. Mostly non-fiction these days, currently in an Alain de Botton phase. Backlog of podcasts, mostly BBC4/NPR. Mubi over Netflix, plus the occasional Pixar to lift the spirits. Unrepentant TED addict...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just one? Carried 14 days of food & gear through mountains of Kyrgyzstan. This Monday night I swam with local seals. I'm thirty-something and still have my curiosity, playful spirit and (mostly) a smile on my face. Best achievement!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Curiosity, openness. A wee dram of single malt! A huge grin.
