About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live a creative life

ABOUT ME

Hey!

I graduated with a degree in Philosophy and Art Theory in 2009, and, after spending a few years working in museums and art galleries in London, I decided to up sticks and explore the world for a while.

PHILOSOPHY

'Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couchsurfing is a great way to get the most authentic experience of the world when travelling. I prefer to avoid the teachings of guidebooks and learn from real people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've always had a sharing, open-door attitude to meeting people and having them to stay, and have had the most memorable experiences along the way. My couch is your couch.

Interests

I'm a very social person and very much enjoy meeting new people. Day to day, I try to draw and write as much as possible and I also spend a lot of time making the most of the many museums and art galleries that London has to offer.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a complete film geek and most enjoy avant-guard films e.g. those directed by the amazing Spanish surrealist Luis Bunuel

My taste in books is quite varied, but I try and go for literature that is stimulating in both style and content. I love reading philosophical literature, psychoanalytic texts and critical and cultural theory.

I enjoy most styles of music, like folk, rock, and even some hiphop or metal music - anything that makes me want to dance!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

California was an amazingly warm and friendly place which inspired me greatly.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like learning and relaying extraordinary facts about the universe....
