ABOUT ME

Explorer, laugher, learner, smiler, lifer

PHILOSOPHY

I'm ditching the career to explore, to feel a foreign earth under my feet, to learn anew, to speak a different tongue, to immerse myself in the great unknown

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only couchsurfed the once so far, in Berlin, and it seemed to work quite well for both parties really!

Interests

Music, yoga, reading, writing, photography, most sports, cooking, gardening, learning... actually, I'm pretty open to anything that's going! Also partial to the occasional glass of red wine...

Books and music are my lifeblood. What Is The What, The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns, The Celestine Prophecy, Norwegian Wood, The Life Of Pi... if it can in anyway educate me, be it historically-steeped fiction, biographical, or entirely factual, I lap it up.

I've got a long line of musical cold comforts - anything from the late 60s / early 70s is my achilles heel! I love hearing new artists too, so the quickest way to get me up and moving is to mention a local gig. Anything from the Stones to the Velvet Underground, Otis Redding to Joan Baez, or Junip to Arcade Fire... if there's an instrument being played three streets away, I want to go outside and listen!

Oh and I've got a real fixation with bubbles, the type you blow with detergent when you're five years old. I love them!
