ABOUT ME
- Philosophical & discursive
- Inquisitive & experimental
- Always keen to learn new things
- Enjoy meeting all sorts of new people
- Love to cook, chat and chill
- Love games, sport, swimming and almost any form of exercise
- I'd like to learn more French
- I don't really like quiet people despite being quite quiet myself sometimes
PHILOSOPHY
I suppose I am some form of Buddhist and I believe in a kind of Hindu Karma as well. But mostly, I believe in Yoga!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Hosting, as a thank you to the universe for keeping me safe on my travels.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Lots of WWOOFing
Interests
- I studied Philosophy at Bristol University and now I study Medicine at Swansea University so I am a life-long student & have a half-formed opinion on almost everything. I like to learn more from people in an effort to crystalise these views
- I practice Yoga every morning and sometimes at night, plus I attend regular meditation classes (Wednesday, 8PM)
- I have a busy lifestyle & I often travel to Bristol for live music, but I always make time to exercise, relax and eat good food
- I love reading and writing because it's one of the only art-forms in which the audience must also perform, and this dynamic fascinates me

Music, Movies, and Books
Movies - I have a secret love of Rom-Coms, I enjoy Psychological Thrillers and I get off on most of that Art House malarky
Music - I like post-rock, jazz, classical, indie, IDM and some metal but I find I can enjoy just about anything if you catch me in the right mood
Books - I'm always reading a novel which I will talk to you about until you tell me to stop. I also enjoying reading about Philosophy and spirituality
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
- I went to India over Christmas, and I cannot describe other than in terms of generic wonderment
- I recently paid for a taxi in cashew nuts because I was caught short. The driver seemed quite pleased
- I've set up a weekly Yoga class in Swansea and I think it's going quite well
Teach, Learn, Share
- I play and teach guitar
- I can involve visitors in my Yoga practice if they would like. I have just set up a weekly yoga society in Swansea which anyone can attend for £4! https://www.facebook.com/groups/108101509352438/
- I cook every day and exercise regularly, so I would be very willing to involve others
