CURRENT MISSION

To create art and have a good time doing it!

ABOUT ME

Give me a pencil and paper and I shall be content! I believe to create interesting art, you must lead a full and interesting life. I love good stories in all their forms, walking my dogs, nature in all its splendor and wasting time with good friends!

PHILOSOPHY

"If you are aware of a state called is, or reality, or life, this implies a state called isn’t. Or illusion, or unreality, or nothingness or death. You can’t know one without the other.
And so as to make life poignant, it’s always going to come to an end. That is, don’t you see, what makes it lively!" - Alan Watts

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope later in life I can accommodate travelers through Couchsurfing, after my formal education is finished and I am settled.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Me and my wonderful girlfriend, Elspeth, are going traveling through Europe and hope to stay with some interesting people on the way! I'm excited to learn about the different European cultures first hand!
