CURRENT MISSION

To be a flaneur in Europe while I finish writing my thesis

PHILOSOPHY

You only get one shot, so don't live life through your camcorder attempting to satisfy some oppressive external locus.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Atm I'm travelling around Europe and Africa searching for inspiration as I finishing writing my Masters thesis. I enjoy the real relationships afforded by CS.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Much couch-surfing, particularly in the last three months as I've travelled the United States, Canada and Europe. ahh memorable experiences. . . waking up to three year old screaming 'John is ASLEEP' while a dog licks my face, keeping the head down during domestics, experiencing the genuine warmth of ordinary people on three continents . . . priceless

Interests

My interests include hiking, food (am I allowed to list essentials?), reading, exploring how little I know (wise people call this philosophy), meeting new people, and languages. Pretty much in that order too.
