CURRENT MISSION

Mad Cartography

ABOUT ME

I enjoy lucid dreaming in the mornings, reading good books, histories, thoughts.

I was born in India and raised in Northern Ireland. I enjoy my peculiar Irish culture but want to explore others. I know a certain brand of history and identity and would be happy to compare.

I have been travelling since I was wee and don't feel like I am fixed in one place. As a result I don't know where my accent comes from..

Scotland is currently where my heart is. I studied English Literature at Glasgow University but I will probably move to Paris next. I'm off to study International Development and Environmental policy at Sciences Po.

I love walking about, running and cross country, I'm not too good with rules so other sports don't usually work out so well. I am awful at pool and table tennis but in a way that I sometimes win somehow.

I get a bit sad when I can't see green spaces and love the fake nature that's been curved into most European cities when the industries departed.

I don't really have rhythm but that doesn't really stop me.

PHILOSOPHY

Read books, acquire knowledge.

I threw away my television.

I'll probably not make wealth but I'll create something else..

Also:

'Pan!' -DH Lawrence
crazy mixed up poststructural inside and out thinking
Foucault, Ranciere, Nietzsche, Freire

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm technically homeless..

For the last four years I've been sharing flats and space with lots of different people from all over the world. I have learned alot about respect for a shared environment, people's boundaries and cultural needs.

My space is usually a reflection of how I feel, I usually feel clean, hygienic and well ordered. usually.

As me mammy used say, equal rights/human rights start at home.

I went to the Glasgow Couch Surfers night in the Tenants Basement the other night, would meet couchsurfers in a sweaty basement again.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Donegal, true peace resides half an hour into the innishowen peninsula.

Getting trapped inside Angkor Wat by storms.

Finally getting a road trip through the Scottish highlands all the way to Skye. I'm sure I've done more interesting things but this was cool. Swimming in a small fairy pool half way up a mountain, diving under sunken arches. Buying a rubbish bbq and grilling bananas, bread and brie before setting up a minibar in a backpack and wandering a deserted beach with friends.
