Sobre mí

CURRENT MISSION

Reliving my twenties (in my early thirties)

ABOUT ME

I'm a very sociable and conversational person with a lot of interests - maybe a little geeky for some - starting out on a new phase of my life and seeking lots of new experiences. Having spent a lot of time and effort on finding the perfect vocation (as a full-time journalist), I now intend to put a bit more effort into the other parts of my life now I'm about to hit 30...

PHILOSOPHY

"By the strength of our common endeavour we achieve more than we achieve alone, so as to create for each of us the means to realise our true potential and for all of us a community in which power, wealth and opportunity are in the hands of the many, not the few, where the rights we enjoy reflect the duties we owe, and where we live together, freely, in a spirit of solidarity, tolerance and respect."

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am merely a humble couchsurfer at the moment, although if anyone ever finds themselves in the unlikely location of Peterborough (Cambridgeshire, UK), then do drop me a line.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have absolutely no couchsurfing experience, but I'm looking to start pretty soon, beginning with New York - the place I started from on my first trip in my early twenties.

Intereses

Aside from being a reluctant gym-goer and section manager for a group of second tenors in a male voice choir, I'm also a lover of history, politics, architecture and all things public transport.

Algo increíble que he hecho

In 2009 I cycled from London to Paris - a truly fantastic and worthwhile experience which involved crazy photoshoots in farmers' fields, eating vast amounts of cheese and getting really rather emotional as the Eiffel Tower hoved into view. It took four days and a lot of blood, sweat and tears - but I raised £800 for an LGBT charity that I used to volunteer for.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

As a working journalist I could be a helpful and patient tutor/mentor to anyone who wants to work in that profession. I can give advice and practical help on writing style, structuring news reports, sub-editing and style - all skills I've gained from working on a fortnightly magazine and occasional freelancing for some of the UK's biggest newspapers such as the Guardian and the Independent.

Although I can't speak many other languages I learnt basic British Sign Language when in a previous career I worked for a deaf charity.
