About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get to know Korea...the stuff not in the books.

ABOUT ME

I adore self-indulgent Sunday mornings and good coffee. I adore dogs, the bigger and dafter the better.Thank goodness for political sexual scandals, politics would be so boring without them. Health studies that endorse my life-style are the only ones I pay attention to.

PHILOSOPHY

"A frozen man shouldn't pee his pants to keep his feet warm." I try to follow that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted a few people when I lived in Kazakhstan...I try to always have a place available. Im studying at U of Edinburgh and always up to show someone around the hidden bits of the city I've managed to discover.

Interests

I'm interested in seeing as much of this world as I can before I die...which I hope won't be too soon.

  • books

Music, Movies, and Books

I like most music that doesn't feature an electric guitar and synthasizer but if pressed I'd say jazz (especially Spanish, Protugese and French). Good dancing music is a lovely thing to move to as well.
Books: The Flashman series, good and entertaining travel writing, the classics, Shadow of the Wind, LeCarre, War and Peace (good, but I just really want credit for reading it)
Movies: smart, funny, small, dry, or historical and any combination there of.

Countries I’ve Visited
