About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Avoid getting bogged down in one place, one job, one way of thinking and being...

ABOUT ME

I'm a Brit who currently lives in Paris and loves to travel. One of those people who's interested in everything and whose attention gets caught very easily. I love to discover new places and learn about the world. Since the end of student life and entering The Real World I'm particularly keen not to let go of the impulse to travel.

PHILOSOPHY

After a few years living in London and getting stuck in a rut my philosophy at the moment is to experience as many new things as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've just signed up to look for somewhere to stay on a trip to the US but if we hit it off there'll always be a couch for you in the City of Lights!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

First-timer! Looking to meet some interesting people and see a bit more of the world.

Interests

I love reading (fiction, sci-fi, history, politics), electronic music, French and German culture, computers and the web, video games, keeping fit and getting involved in sports (don't ask me to watch sports on TV though!).

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite sci-fi author is William Gibson. I also love classic literature from France and Germany. Movie-wise I'm happy with a bone-headed action blockbuster or something that will challenge me to think a bit more depending on my mood. Music-wise, all things electronic (especially minimal techno after living in Berlin for a year) but also rock, metal, baroque, a bit of hip-hop...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in the French National Assembly the day the law legalising gay marriage was passed. I've never seen so many genuinely happy people in one place or politicians so visibly moved as on that day - and the party in Paris afterwards was something to see!

Countries I’ve Visited

France, Turkey

Countries I’ve Lived In

France, Germany, United Kingdom
