I am a failed wordsmith, and subsequent English Teacher from Cambridge, UK. I'm 28, a drinker and a smoker, and am doing a silly bike ride across Europe this summer for no apparent reason.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people. I'm travelling across Europe solo and feel some human contact could enrich the experience!

Interests

I love travel, obviously, but my main passions are cricket, literature, music and, well, cricket. I love cricket. Anyone that doesn't doesn't know anything about anything.

Music, Movies, and Books

Currently working on a PhD thesis pre-pre-pre-proposal on Sartre and migrant fiction, so I guess that. I love all kinds of music - massive cop out but it's true. If I had to name a favourite band I'd say Radiohead. And I like anything by Wes Anderson, Christopher Nolan and Pedro Almodovar.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This bike ride is kind of cool. I've also travelled across Russia in January and hiked the two biggest mountain ranges on Earth.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I'm an English teacher - if you need some tuition, I'm probably your man. That's put quite a lot of pressure on me now.
