About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel to the states and help with the Obama campaign.

ABOUT ME

I'm 22. I'm a political junkie and I love travelling. I'm also a big music fan though due to prolonged lack of income my CD collection hasn't grown much in the last year.
I love driving and good food and play the guitar badly.
I wish my clothes from last year fitted me better.
I have a blog about the US Elections.
I'm friendly and outgoing and I love to meet new people.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short and don't like that but its a great motivator to get out and see the world.
I try to be friendly and generally try not to think very hard about social issues - it can make people a bit neurotic. So I'd liked to be called easy going in any situtation.
Politically I'm left of centre in the UK which probably makes me a God Damn Socialist in the US.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As long as I live with my parents I can't really offer any places to stay more than a night.

If I had my own place (which I desperately want) I'd offer any sofas straight away. Having travelled a lot myself I know hostels and home-stays often attract really friendly people and its one of the best things about travelling. Having that in my own house once in a while would be really cool.

Interests

Politics, Music, Art, Theatre, Books, I really like Maps for some strange reason, Booze, Dancing, Comedy, Friendly friends and aniamsl.

Music, Movies, and Books

Wes Anderson movies, especially Rushmore and Tennenbaums. Also Annie Hall, Dr. Strangelove and Amelie are amongst my favourite films.

I love the Pixies, Bowie, Arcade Fire, Wolf Parade, Hendrix, Patrick Wolf, Velvet Undergound, Leadbelly, The Rolling Stones and The Knife.

My favourite book is I, Claudius and I also love His Dark Materials and Harry Potter because I'm secretly 10 years old.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've travelled on the Trans-Siberian railway from Moscow to Beijing with a few stops along the way. Pretty cool. Pretty freezing. We drove on a lake! Awesome.
