These are always so awkward and self-indulgent to write but here we go:
I grew up in Guildford in England, went to uni in Liverpool (where I studied French and Egyptology), spent a year living in Paris and now I live in Rouen. This is the first time in my life when I have had adequate means to travel around independently so I am trying my best to make the most of it!
This is a horrible cliché but I would consider myself to be a real people person; I love to talk to and get to know new people and I don't embarrass easily. I really love to laugh and greatly appreciate a bit of banter and mischief.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To meet the locals and see what's what wherever that may be! I will hopefully make some fun new friends along this exciting new journey of couchsurfing.

兴趣

I would say my greatest passion is music: playing it (I like to sing and play a bit of piano/keyboard), listening to it (I usually listen to at least 3-4 hours of music a day) and seeing it live whenever I can.
I also really enjoy films [old and new], art (going to have a look at it and sometimes doing it myself), eating and snacking. I hope one day I will be able to say that a firm hobby of mine is segway-ing.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Billy Connolly once replied to one of my tweets which was pretty cool

Also playing live at La Fête de la Musique in Paris in June 2014 was a real dream come true

教，学，和分享

I can teach you how to make a variety of tasty pasta dishes, as well as many mince-related recipes (which are nicer than they sound).
I can also teach you English, as that is my job, and maybe even a bit of French if you play your cards right
