CURRENT MISSION

My leg hurts

ABOUT ME

Working in Bangor, north Wales, the city where I grew up. I teach documentary theory and practice, and am doing a PhD in Media Policy, looking at public service broadcasting. Married 30something with 2 kids, but am happy to live like a teenager, especially while travelling. Travels are usually for work, usually in the US.

PHILOSOPHY

Left-wing, but a contrarian.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a young family, and we live in a tiny house, so it's difficult to accomodate. Also, having 2 toddlers doesn't make staying at other people's houses very easy. But my work tends to take me over to the US at least once a year, and Couchsurfing is a good way to meet people.
