CURRENT MISSION

Where was I going? What was I doing? I'd soon find out

ABOUT ME

I'm happiest when on my way to somewhere.

PHILOSOPHY

It's up to you to change your life, and my life's up to me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Long live free stuff! Death to passive consumerism! Three cheers for interractions with strangers that aren't based on any economic gain! Hoorah for couchsurfing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Chip sandwitches by the sea in Boulogne sur Mer. Teaching Erik and Trees to make brandy butter in the middle of summer in Flanders. Learning to like beer in Bruges. Being overwhelmed by the generosity of everyone I've stayed with. Hoping to be able to return the favour.

Interests

Free stuff - scavenging, sharing, salvaging, scrounging. Music. Theatre. Films. Cabaret. Singing badly while cycling. Canals. Chess. Climbing into places you aren't meant to be. Cooking things on fires in urban wasteland. Post-rock. Making dresses. Vinyl. Hitch-hiking. Debates, discussions, controversy. Playing football. Learning stuff.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach...knitting, swimming and where to scavenging free food in London. I'd like to learn...most things, really, but particularly how to crochet, pick mushrooms, screen print and play basketball.
