Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't travel that often anymore but welcome you to spend some time visiting.

Interests

Pets, I have one cat that you must put up with if you visit me. You may never see him. he is profoundly shy. I enjoy cooking as a hobby and gardening, although where I currently live, gardening is quite a challenge. I like a variety of music, but mostly listen to jazz, classical, indie and chillout. I read a little. Little interest in tv but like to watch intelligent movies and also escapist silly comedy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just one?

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a linguist and well-qualified to teach the English language. I know a little about cooking, and raising plants and animals.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My rather small accommodation and whatever I am cooking. Regrettably, I cannot offer shelter at the moment as my house is tiny and a good friend is staying in the CS designated space for an indefinite period.
