I'm currently living in Bristol, England and working in a craft beer bar but spend most of my time trying to find a way to escape the bar trade. In my spare time I enjoy sitting in cafes reading, chatting and occasionally trying to write.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It dawned on me a few months back that I haven't left the country or done anything even remotely adventurous since I left university and started working. Couch surfing looks like an awesome way to change up my routine, meet new people and finally start to see a little bit more of the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books I love:
'Perdido Street Station' by China Mieville
'Infinite Jest' by David Foster Wallace
'If on a Winter's Night a Traveller' by Italo Calvino
'The Rings of Saturn' by W G Sebald
'Consider Phlebas' by Iain M Banks (and pretty much anything in the Culture series)

Music I've been listening to:
Mainly hiphop like Frank Ocean, MF Doom, People Under the Stairs and Kendrick Lamar. But I've also been enjoying some of the 90's grunge inspired stuff thats has been going around lately like Yuck and Birdskulls, a bit of minimal electronic stuff like Mount Kimbie and Baths, and also some shoe gazey indie stuff like Yo La Tengo and Jeffrey Lewis.

Movies:
I used to spend all my spare time down at the cinema but over the last few years I've been finding myself going less and less, I mainly enjoy Science Fiction and Horror but I am entirely up for any recommendations that could get me back to the cinema.
