CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

Baz Lurhmann - Everyone's Free (To Wear Sunscreen).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By being openminded about meeting people. By trying to be as friendly to everyone I meet from CS as possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well, I've only met one person through Couchsurfing so far, but he turned out to be a pretty good guy! So, all in all, pretty good. We walked York walls together, made pancakes and went to the Royal Armouries. It was great!

Interests

Reading, swimming (when I can afford my gym membership), going to the cinema about a million times a week, baking bread, baking cakes, researching famous people on the internet, reading Tim Dowling/Marina Hyde/Michelle Hanson/Hadley Freeman in the paper, doing the Guardian quick crossword every day without fail, going to pub quizzes with interactive buzzers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to learn more French. I did it for A-Level but have forgotten quite a bit. I'd also like to learn some more about how to swim properly. And maybe how to play squash.

I can share stuff about culture. I like to talk about books mutually read. And also analyse music to death.I can also tell you about any of the countries I've been to, and maybe give you an idea of cool things to do whilst you're there. Oh, and maybe some idea of what to do in some UK cities too!
