Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been a member since 2009 but not active. I was recently awarded an opportunity to live in the UK for a year. This is my first time in Europe (after three decades of existence) and I am certainly hoping to make the most of my time here visiting as many places, connecting to as many people and absorbing as much of the local experience as possible.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music and movies are my husband's thing. I love books though and am a big fan of Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman and other similarly witty books in the fantasy genre. I'm generally a big fan of wit and puns, but also enjoy serious fantasy (Tolkien, Garth Nix) as well as children's classics (I have a collection of Paddington Bear books, the original un-Disneyfied version of Winnie the Pooh and Roald Dahl). If I visit your country, I hope to learn more about the local folklore and mythology as well.
