CURRENT MISSION

On a 3 year voyage across 7 continents seeking inspiration as an impressionist painter

ABOUT ME

I am 24,and i began travelling in February 2009.My second trip,my purpose is to obtain my life education on the road through diverse experiences with other cultures,people and to influence my own career as a painter.I love to paint faces and travelling is a great way to meet millions of new people and connect.My journey is absolutely predominantly about experience over sightseeing.

PHILOSOPHY

Do unto others as you would like to be treated,and i dont believe im better than anyone,im just a guy trying to follow his dream and maybe on the way i can help someone else if they let themselves,might sound a bit wanky but its my honest opinion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have just entered the couchsurfing society.However i am a man of many trades and abilities,i can cook ,clean and paint to begin with .I carry a vast selection of spices and use them regularly to cook for families that i stay with.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was homeless for about a month when i was 17,so i was finding refuge on a mates couch (usually relocating every 3 days) and so i know what its like to be on a couch,quite comfortable really.

Interests

Im a painter,i paint impressionist portraits of cultures of unique interest to mew around Africa so far and soon Europe.I have a passion for cooking and i like to experiment with all of the recipes i have learned around the world.
