I'm currently on my first solo trip around Europe and I'd like to see as much as I can. I'm a creative type who enjoys playing music, art, dancing badly, and generally not taking myself too seriously.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to catch the couch waves and surf all around the world, collecting stories and tales to warm my bones when I'm old and sour. I hope to battle the evil spirit of the times by being kind.

Interests

Music, paint, clay, spray cans, writing, making up stories, arguing about silly things. Hard fried egg or soft fried egg? Do you put the milk in the mug before the tea or after?

I like long hikes in the countryside or long walks in town. I can also sit on the couch and make whale noises. I have a very broad range of skills and interests.

Music, Movies, and Books

Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss, Tame Impala, Ty Segall, Rage Against The Machine, Desert Sessions, Forest Swords, Dirty Beaches, Netsky, Roots Manuva, Mungo's Hi-Fi, High Contrast, Xxploding Plastix, Amon Tobin, Bonobo.. I like a wide variety but I'm quite picky.

A Clockwork Orange, Trainspotting, Papillon, American Psycho, Parfume, A Confederacy of Dunces, Generation X, Slaughterhouse Five, A Few Short Notes On Tropical Butterflies, The Beginning of Infinity, The Black Swan. I like darkly comic fiction, with a tinge of the absurd and melancholic. Also popular science and entertaining non-fiction.

Office Space, The Big Lebowski, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, The Reanimator, most of Jim Carrey's films, Sin City, Lord of the Rings trilogy (although I've seen them too many times now) Rick and Morty! I love bad films, stoner-esque comedies, and stylistic action films.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ate all I could eat at an 'all you can eat' buffet.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a bit of French, and I'm fluent in English. I can also go through basic music teaching, and painting skills. (mostly learned from Bob Ross)

I like learning new languages, especially swear words, and am always keen to play music with new people or learn new artistic techniques.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm happy to cook, teach anything I know, help to clean up the house, drink and be merry, and maybe fight crime.
