About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To expand my world and hopefully the world of those around me in the process!

ABOUT ME

Easygoing, relaxed, open-minded and looking to experience as many new things as possible!

PHILOSOPHY

Just be open to trying to understand as many ideas, philosophies and points of views as possible before making any judgements and try to avoid absolutism.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I'm looking to travel, but whilst I'm in my hometown of Edinburgh, Scotland I'm more than happy to show people around my city and impart as much local knowledge as possible. Hopefully in the future I'll be in a position where I can offer my couch to potential travellers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I've done one trip using couchsurfing over a period of 2.5 months, it has been excellent and I've met many more great people than I expected. It's without a doubt, the best way to see the world!

Music, Movies, and Books

Great lover of cinema, impossible to list them all here, but a few of my favourites include Babel, Sin City, Under the Skin, A Clockwork Orange, Léon, Trainspotting and a lot of Cohen Brother stuff.
For music I'd say my taste is very eclectic but to try and narrow it down it down I'm a massive Bob Dylan and Arctic Monkeys fan, love anything atmospheric, Bonobo, Grimes etc. but I also love a good dance to EDM.
Trying to read as much fiction as possible at the moment, 1984, Lolita, Fahrenheit 451 etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The view upon reaching the top of Mt. Fuji, the highest mountain I've climbed so far.

Teach, Learn, Share

I try my best to learn as many skills as possible at all stages of my life and hopefully I can bring some of those skill and knowledge to you, my basis is in architecture which has lead to becoming knowledgeable in a number of arts and construction methods. I'm also a skilled designer is many other formats such as layout, publishing, web design, typography, calligraphy, small furniture construction. My true passion lies in photography and I have much to share in that field both of a digital and analogue nature. Of course, I also have my English to share and I'm very interested in learning as many other languages as possible in the process.
