Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING My home has and always be open to anyone who needs a place a to stay. This was how I grew up and I like it. I try to spend my life doing things that both better me and others around me. Be it my work where I want my time to contribute to improving the way we interact with the planet or fun where I like entertaining people through music, teaching, or outreach workshops. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE None yet but my cousin and friends have said its amazing!
Music, Movies, and Books
It depends on my mood. Sometimes I need basic visual/audible entertainment like a good action film or a really easy to listen to song. Other times I need something more stimulating that can actually make think and feel something.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Lived in Hong Kong when I was 16-18 at Li Po Chun United World College (UWC) of Hong Kong, their objective is to promote peace through international understanding. They achieve this by getting people from all over the world who are young enough to be impressionable but old enough to understand themselves to live learn and work together. That was fun. Riding my motorbike from the UK to Romania for my friends wedding. Completing a mechanical engineering degree. It was really hard. Been involved in setting up the first official UK Burning Man festival In the process of creating a renewable energy outreach program for the UWC in the UK Scraping through a PhD ...trying to find time to fit in any other projects that come my way
Teach, Learn, Share
I often find myself teaching maths to people, they like my simple approach to it. Fixing and making things, this includes car and motorbike maintenance (love getting covered engine filth) Music learning mainly, not really at the standard to teach, I am happy to share what I know, I really enjoy jamming with people.
