Overview
About Me
At present I am studying an MA in Photography at the University of the West of England in Bristol. I moved up to Bristol from North Devon where I am from originally, and before that I lived in Brighton when I was studying photography as an undergraduate.
I view the role as a photographer as my positive contribution to society. My project work has taken me on many journeys where I have seen a variety of places, objects, and characters along the way. To a certain extent I view my own life as a journey itself, and I am always keen to meet new people and benefit from their experiences.
Hosting me will have short and long term implications that are positive, and I hope that I am able to convey my appreciation if you decide to host me. I am also open to hosting as well, as I do believe in reciprocity if it is achievable.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Often travelling for personal projects, being able to stay with somebody for free helps a lot and means I can invest more in the development of my artistic practice. Even better though is the opportunity to meet new people which is not possible when staying alone in paid accommodation. I am very open minded and always excited to
