Well this is always awkward. I am an extrovert but this question is always a struggle for me.

A few things about me: research student; love dogs- have a border collie son named Wesley; also love cats, goats and pigs; I love food and ice lollies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love experience travelling by immersing myself in the culture. I’m not an overly tourist type of person, I just love seeing the ways others live and experiencing their view of the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love most things sci-fi or fantasy. I like horrors but a good horror is rare these days.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recently visited the Rift Valley in Kenya, where the oldest remains were found.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am currently a PhD student so most of the travelling I am doing is for research. I am currently planning to spend two months in USA, most of the time in California (where I will be staying with family and friends), but I am also looking for a lovely, friendly, sociable host in Missouri, Columbia (preferably close to the uni campus). I have university letters to share with any potential host who may be interested in hosting me.

I am happy to do things by myself like the explorer I am but also willing to hang out with host if they are happy to show me around.
