* Currently living in Central Asia (sometimes in Tashkent, sometimes in Dushanbe, sometimes in Bishkek). Looking for friends to hang out with and go on day/weekend trips! * Recently moved to Glasgow to begin a PhD focusing on the politics of labour migration. I’ve spent time living in different cities including London, Edinburgh, Moscow, St Petersburg and Buenos Aires. Usually looking to hang out but have done quite a bit of surfing in the past. 🇬🇧 🇮🇪 🇪🇺

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I like to travel slow and get to know the vernacular of where I’m visiting
Music, Movies, and Books
Mostly into ambient/minimal electronic music, but also love a rave or jazz concert When I’m travelling I really like to explore local arthouse and socially-engaged films. Often buried in academic articles these days but my love for languages and the world was born out of modernist literature, so it still occupies a special place.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Trekked across the highlands of Iceland and then spent an evening partying with Bjork
What I Can Share With Hosts
Slow cooked food, social debates, good wine
