I've stayed with Couchsurfers, couples and families in Russia and Japan, done emergency stays before flights and hosted. I've organised Language Exchanges too.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music (rock, indie, dance), such as Bloc Party, Interpol, Editors, The Music. Feeder
Films 'I Heart Huckabees', 'Zoolander', 'Dead Poets Society' (Carpe Diem!), and David Lynch films.

I Made a cup of tea with my feet. Sugar and milk too.
