CURRENT MISSION

To stop losing my house keys as it's just getting a tad ridiculous

ABOUT ME

I'm quite laid back and open-minded, tell a good story but can't do accents.

PHILOSOPHY

That whole "treat others as you'd like to be treated yourself" thing sums it up pretty well but without the preachy, omnipotent, omniscient old fella upstairs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I fell off the CS wagon for a while but I now have a new place with plenty of room and am just itching to host someone...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All good! Everyone's been wonderful - it gives one a v unusual feeling of connectedness, finding random people in disparate locations and situations then finding them like-minded, with similar values and views.

Interests

Singing, art, film, finding very good cocktails, reading, sports that I'm bad at. Oh, and the odd pub quiz.

Music, Movies, and Books

um. Love reading....Ishigaro, GGM, Eugenides, Chomsky - just finished Tiger, Tiger. Eclectic music tastes (at the mo Lisa Ekdahl, The Smiths, Johnny Cash, Belle&Sebastian, Stevie Wonder circa 1974) but always feel I could be more varied. Film...way too many to list.....oh, go on then...Jack Lemmon in The Apartment....CdB (the Depardieu version)....Crash.....Blade Runner and, at the mo, Karate Kid 1.
