Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Excellent!!
Surfed with Oli & Catherine in Montreal - plenty of vintage and beer and jumping on roof tops; with Janna & Emily in Tampa - pizza and brilliant karaoke at a very american bar... Met plenty of excellent people through CS in my hometown which has a fairly active 'scene'.

Music, Movies, and Books

Reading: everything, pretty much. Never go anywhere without a book.

Music: again, most things. I currently have a predilection for classic rock, grunge, 40s-50s-60s popular music as well as rockabilly/jazz/blues stuff.

Movies: Whilst books and music are constant companions, films are more of an ad-hoc relaxation thing. I'll watch anything apart from the goriest of horror films.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visited an orphanage in Morocco, it was the most eye opening experience I've had.
Making friends in the markets on Tobago. So different from anywhere else and full of amazing, positive and friendly people.
Going somewhere new and just being in the middle of it. Not necessarily doing anything; just being.

Teach, Learn, Share

Languages, words, sounds. I want to know them and I could teach some... Another special skill is that I can lick my elbow. But I only teach that at special occasions.

Countries I’ve Visited

Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Grenada, Ireland, Italy, Morocco, Netherlands, Portugal, Russian Federation, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, Trinidad and Tobago, Turkey, United Kingdom, Vatican City State

Countries I’ve Lived In
