ABOUT ME

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i live in the countryside, so it's always interesting to meet people from elsewhere if they are passing through this way. i am on a low income so if i do ever want to go town (which is rarely!), the chance of a place to stay without paying exhorbitant hotel fees means that couchsurfing makes it possible for me.

Interests

I play in a batucada group, have a large veg patch, keep up to date with current affairs and would rather put a book down than read it if it's bad

• literature
• gardening
• politics
• music
• philosophy

Music, Movies, and Books
