fluffy haired misfit, confounded by the world and excited by it in equal measure.

my current preoccupations include contact juggling, playing the mandolin, and hurling myself into the sea. I have benefitted many times from the generosity of strangers and am keen to reciprocate. stories interest me - the stories of individuals, peoples, places and continents - and couchsurfing is the ideal way to discover them. come say hi!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

camped alone by calainis stone circle and amongst the lochs and the mountains.

教，学，和分享

my philosophy goes something like this: resist injustice, imagine alternatives, make life a carnival. to paraphrase raymond williams, live out a radicalism that can make hope possible rather than despair convincing.
