About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling across the United States

ABOUT ME

I studied contemporary art for three years at the Liverpool school of art & design. Between those years of study, I lived in Alameda and worked in Berkley, California. The following year I traveled through Europe by interrailing for 5 weeks. Since finishing my degree I've been in south east Asia for 5 months and then lived and worked in Melbourne for 7 months. I then traveled up the east coast of Australia and I have now arrived back in California.

PHILOSOPHY

Always experience something first hand, when possible

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm looking for both people to enjoy a journey with somewhere, and to be put up for the night if anyone wanted to put me up.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I heard about couch surfing whilst on my travels through Asia and heard some great stories. America seems like the perfect country to travel whilst meeting other couch surfers.

Interests

I enjoy going to live music, galleries, photography, film and sports. I play music and love to cook. I also enjoy hiking, and most out door activities.
