Coucou! I'm Jade! I'm an MA student and I work at a castle in the countryside, where I sometimes dress up as a Tudor. My best fancy dress achievement to date was when I dressed as an alien at a fetish night though.

The next countries I want to visit are Finland and Vietnam.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For potential adventures and friend-making funtimes! :D

Interests

Language/travel/gigs *tries to think of something original*... getting in the car, driving, getting lost and then having to find my way home :)

And I LOVE views! The best ones to date are the Bangkok skyline at night, the top of a mountain in Austria and the North Downs (near where I live) because you can see the whole of London on a clear day/night

• traveling

Music, Movies, and Books

Some examples:
Music - The Distillers, Oasis, Rammstein, Rancid, Elvis Presley, The Rolling Stones
Films - Quadrophenia, Der blaue Engel, Submarine, Trainspotting, The Inbetweeners, Halloween and The Wolf of Wall Street was good... so basically cult films/films about social issues/embarrassingly bad films that I love/European cinema and pure debauchery :D
Books - Goodbye to Berlin, Die Blechtrommel, Introduction to German Sociolinguistics, The Slap, and anything by Agatha Christie... and Roald Dahl for old times' sake

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Probably when 4-year old me decided to become a vegetarian. Nearly 20 years later and I'm still sticking to it!

And I've won some pretty competitive scholarships and awards throughout my studies but I'm trying to stop my inner-geek from showing its face ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

Positive attitudes towards life, learning, new experiences and fun!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Happiness, good times, and some knowledge about language and the Tudors if you really want to know ;)
