About Me

I like travelling... when travelling I like to sketch, take photographs, sit and watch the world go by and generally get stuck in to the place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm interested to have genuine encounters with people living in a place, rather than trailing around all the spots where newcomers are told they need to go and see and where the encounters can be a bit transactional. Keen to learn about everyday life more than the big sites...

Interests

many and various, hard to name them... I would say I am just generally interested.

  • arts
  • sketching
  • music
  • anthropology
  • solo travel
  • film photography

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to read/listen/watch those coming out of/about the place that I'm travelling in- open to recommendations!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

hmm. I've just spent a month bicycling solo through Myanmar which was fun.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm up for swapping stories and tales.
