COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's all new to me.

Interests

Architecture is the first love of my life. Our tutors in 'architecture 101' at university said "all of life and thought is in architecture". It's true and I spend most of my time looking at the world through a lens like that.

• culture
• architecture
• aviation
• reading

Music, Movies, and Books

far too many and too boring to list here.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visting Lincoln cathedral when I was 7. I grew up in a county with beautiful countryside but almost devoid of good buildings. It was a revelation.
I saw the first space shuttle lift off from Cape Canaveral with my own eyes when I was 9. I still find space exploration and aviation in general, amazing.
We used to have Kipling's poem 'If' above our toilet downstairs - I try to live by it's creed.
