PHILOSOPHY

If you want to sing out, sing out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm still pretty active in CS, but feel alienated by the current direction of the organisation, it is no longer the volunteer-based organisation that I thought it was when I joined, so I'm looking to spend more time here:

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I try to make every day just a little bit amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

Always ready with a bit of a song, singing is always good

I'm interested in languages and the meaning that hides within them.

I would like to learn how to write beautifully and maybe white water kayaking too
