Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Being in one place too long gave me itchy feet, what I am doing now is stepping out and seeing bigger ideas.
ABOUT ME
What I like doing is chasing the visual stimuli around all kinds of places. Film does it for me and just being out and about and roaming is sometimes all I need. I am doing an experiment right with not having a fixed address for a year or so, this expedition on the roads most travelled is my eastern sample tour. I might come away with nothing at all but am hoping to meet like minded people and make art on the road.
PHILOSOPHY
"Wherever you go, there you are!" I got that from Buckeroo Bonzai who got that Confucius.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
At the moment I can only offer company and conversation. When I do settle in place for longer I will offer my space up too.
Interests
I am into making video and performance art. I draw and make stuff. I take photos. I read books and comics. I love to use a bicycle to get around. I cook a lot and make my own chocolate.

Music, Movies, and Books
I cover a wide range, but some of my favourite books are by Jack London (White Fang, Call of the Wild). I like folk tales, especially Italian ones (Italo Calvino). I'm seriously addicted to music by Queen and my favourite movies are probably Conan the Barbarian or Flash Gordon, those two I could easily watch again and again.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I drove around Europe for six months in an old campervan with my family.
Teach, Learn, Share
