CURRENT MISSION

Experience the world - and then change it.

ABOUT ME

I have recently entered what the law deems 'adulthood', yet I still feel like a kid who just wants to play in the woods and read comics. Nonethless I'm off to study at the University of Leeds in September 2010, reading international history and politics. These subects History and politics are my biggest interests, something which is fuelling my desire to travel around Europe in July 2010 with four of my friends. Travelling to countries such as Austria and Poland, I can't wait to experience the culture and the history of such interesting places. However, besides all things academic and philosophical, I love to go out with my friends and get wildly drunk (as most eighteen year olds love to do). Music and film have shaped my personality and hopefully more travelling and the experience of different cultures will too.

PHILOSOPHY

Marx said that 'revolutions are the locomotives of history'. My life is lived to ride one of these locomotives!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to Couch Surfing and I'm really hoping to do it in July 2010 with four of my other friends in Europe. Whilst I couldn't offer any one a couch myself (I live with my parents and have a full house), I would always be happy to show people around the town of High Wycombe...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm hoping to have experiences this summer, please!

兴趣

I'm interested in modern history and political philosophy, cult movies, music, grafitti art, the sartorialist and funny shit on youtube when I'm drunk.

Walking through the Sahara desert and seeing absolutely nothing, for seemingly eternity.

教，学，和分享

I guess what I can teach would be about politics and certain areas of Modern History, especially within Europe. There is nothing I love more than discussing different interpretations of certain periods of history, or looking at the ideas of some of history's greatest thinkers i.e. Rousseau, Locke and Marx. I can roll cigarettes, a skill which many find useful to learn too!
I would basically love people that I stay with to teach, or allow me to experience, their way of thinking and their culture. It would only broaden my horizons and make me enjoy each country I visit even more!
