I'm all about travelling. At the moment, I teach English and lead food tours in Chengdu, China. I have a spare bedroom and a couch in a really quaint and quiet part of Chengdu. There are many parks and tea houses around me, plus good shopping and street food.

I love meeting new people, which is a big reason why I love travelling. I'm very sociable, although, like anyone, I also enjoy my alone time. Some of my favourite things to do include chilling/reading/working in cafes, bars etc. hiking and camping, reading, studying languages, and trying new foods.

I'm very easy going, neat, and independent- making me a fun and stress-free guest/host! I also love pets and animals in general! I have a dog named Raina

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To meet new people, get the 'local' angle, save money, be apart of a fantastic multinational community.

兴趣

Food, culture, language, and history are undeniably my biggest interests!

I also play a bit of guitar, and am in a band called Swirly Nouners. You can check out our stuff here!

I majored in Classical Studies so you could say I have a certain fondness for the history and culture of ancient Mediterranean civilizations.

As I mentioned before, I'm really into travelling. As a cause of this, I tend to spend a lot of time researching countries that I want to go to.

My primary occupation is teaching English, so I like to research language teaching/learning techniques and activities when I have time. I also lead food tours in the city and am really in touch with the local food scene here.

I also like video games!

音乐、电影和书籍

I like most music, especially indie-instrumental stuff and cool electronic music. Got a soft spot for old school rap (Tribe, Biggie, etc.) Britpop, Bowie, and Talking Heads at the moment. Overall, not that picky when it comes to music.

I always feel like a huge nerd when I say this, but I love reading classical literature. By that I mean, the works of Homer, Cicero, Plato, Virgil etc. Its what I studied in uni and I honestly just cannot get enough of it. I also like certain authors of fantasy and historical-fiction.

I don't watch a ton of movies or TV shows, I'm a dedicated viewer of Game of Thrones and that's about it. I do love a good movie night though! I'll watch almost anything as long as there are snacks involved!
