Groups I Belong ToCouch Information
Couch Available: Maybe
Preferred Gender: Female
Max Surfers Per Night: 1
Shared Sleeping Surface: No
Shared Room: DependsYou'll be in the living room. I'll try and give you as much privacy as possible but in afternoons we might probably want to use it / chill out in it. Ok I've moved an am finally ready to host again!
Currently I live in Shepherds Bush, 5 mins from Westfield (Europes' largest shopping center) ;) and 3mins from the Central Line... so basically it's dead convenient to head into central. I'm about a 5min tube ride from Notting Hill.
Females are preferred as I'm sharing with another girl (Swedish, 24) and she might be a little uncomfortable with dudes...and the bathroom issues always (!).
Either way drop me a line and I'll have to run it by my flatmate first.
You'd be crashing in the living room on a couch. It's kinda small-ish (for me , I'm 5'7" and would have to be a little curled up) but it's not too bad... quite cosy really.
I put a maximum of two surfers but that's *really* at a stretch as our flat doesn't have that much space... and you could probably stay a max of 2-3 nights...
What else?
Umm...
No smoking in the flat... we have no pets.
Probably comfortable with you staying a max of 2-3 nights? Seeing how it works I guess...
All we ask is for you to clean up after yourself...like wash your dishes, be generally considerate. Haha. You shall have access to my vast tea / book / dvd collection too.
Between uni-part time job-sport societies-volunteering I have a very busy schedule so may not be able to show you around but I can tell you about all the places to go.
We generally go to bed really late...like 3am...
Shouldn't make much of a difference if you have the living room you close it off.
I have a throw / blanket and many pillows.... that's it I suppose. :) Friends (20)

I really love tennis, the beach and reading.

Oh, for someone who reads (quite) extensively, I have a really poor vocabulary. CouchSurfing ExperienceSurfed couches in London , Munich and Berlin and so far the expriences have been nothing short of awesome.
Hosted some CS-ers in London, and have showed people around London and Singapore...
I've also met CS-ers whenever travelling ...InterestsTennis, reading, water sports, the beach, lazy afternoons drinking tea and lounging at cafes having conversations about life and books, yoga, good food, plays, mountain hikes, the sunshine, laser tag fights around random buildings ... it's hard to pin it down really, I have many interests! PhilosophyI like the Buddhist spin to life.
Also I try to keep in mind what Gandhi said "An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind".

Mar 16, 2008   Positive An extremely good experience. All the time I felt welcome and we got along so very well> but be careful: if she asks you to play "..jungle" or "trivial persuit"- you ll be going down!thousand stars for claudia!  From Eugene Cheng Bondi, Australia
Sep 13, 2007 Positive Claudia's a pretty awesome girl, with the cool 'CHIJ' look, to hang out with. She's been a great help in accompanying german friends whom i host to visit Singapore. Aber ich habe immer gedacht dass die deutschen Leute immer so punktlich sind!!! Hmm, du siehst mehr aus eine Singapurerin denn! :P Haha! I guess you are pretty good in pulling off that 'stunt'.. But I am better! :P:P:P:P:P:P Look foward to seeing you soon.. Wherever it is.. Singapore, London or Germany! haha!  From ॐ Toronto, Canada
Sep 4, 2007  Positive Claudia's smart, exotic looking, well travelled and she plays pretty good pool. But she uses a fork and knife to eat Indian food. Nobody's perfect. We discussed the odds of meeting a psycho serial killer couchsurfer, and concluded that we ourselves were more dangerous than most psychos.  From Jasmin Rohani Jurong West, Singapore
Sep 2, 2007 Positive Claudia oh claudia..one glance u dun look local..second glance indeed u are..pretty and very bubbly...  From Marc Böhle Wiesbaden, Germany
