About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Not getting too lost wherever I go....and not falling alseep on random buses

ABOUT ME

Friends, family, food, fun and laughter are all very important to me. And I like bluebells. And turtles.

I've been told I have 'itchy feet' as I can't seem to stay in one place for too long. This may be somewhat accurate.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't surfed or hosted for quite a while but being new to Kenya, would love to get back into it more!

Interests

Love eating, drinking and dancing (the first 2, I do pretty well) ....meeting people, gigs, festivals reading, theatre, swimming, hiking, cycling & exploring, doing things that scare the me.

Music, Movies, and Books

Where to begin?

Films:
OK I adore Pan's Labyrinth & The Devil's Backbone....utter epics from Guillermo del Toro. I'm a Cyborg but that's OK is my Korean addition...Fight Club & Sense & Sensibility (for the sop in me though I really don't like Jane Austen!) and finally ...J-Horror or horror films in general (talking bout the classics here like The Omen & Nightmare on Elm Street)

Books:
I love reading!
You'll have to ask me bout this one as it is way too difficult to list them here but as a taster..arundhati roy,sci-fi, kazuo ishiguro, post-colonial/world literature, chuck palahniuk

Music:
Bit of this, bit of that ...its an ecletic mix ranging from DnB, Metal, Trip Hop & lyrical Hip Hop to Bluesy ladies like Billie Holiday & Nina Simone....I'm skimping here but I'm finding it tough, bear with me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking through the land of green ghosts (up and down the beautiful hills of Shan State, Burma), getting doused in Chiang Mai during the New Year Water Festival, an impromptu parapuente off the cliffs of Bellavista in Lima, and more, more, more - how can I fit them all here??
