Stand up for what you believe in.

Never let anyone kick you down. Stand tall and rise above it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Can accept request in the future and ready to travel now. Have attended Cardiff CS regular meetings. Meet people from other countries in Cardiff for a show or just a drink.

Also happy to offer house sitting and pet sitting services. Just message me! :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have stayed with a few hosts. Would like to travel much more and meet new and interesting people. Lovers of the arts I would get on very well with.

Interests

I enjoy the arts. I do some archaeological digs as well! Good fun! Enjoy doing photography and film work etc. Travel, of course!

Music, Movies, and Books

Erik Satie, Gavin Bryars, John Tavener, Oliver Messiaen, Memory House, Luigi Nono, Górecki, Phillip Glass, John Adams, Wagner, Charles Ives and Rachmaninov.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hearing Oliver Messiaen's music for the first time! Was a Plinther in Antony Gormley's 'One and Other' (an art project in which one person got to go up the fourth plinth in London's Trafalgar Square). I have even been on the Weakest Link, a British quiz show.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can't wait to expand my mind and broaden my horizon!

Happy to help people with English (just ask me).
Tell people about the UK, Wales and Cardiff.
Teach about the arts and what it means to me.
If we see a show or concert together, you will no doubt have an introduction by me for what we are seeing! ;)

I also really value a positive reference. If you have met me, surfed with or hosted me, the polite thing to do is to write a prompt reference. All people on CS would expect the same.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Culture, insight, encouragement, hospitality, generosity, curiosity, passion and more! :)

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, France, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Poland, United Kingdom
