ABOUT ME

I am a friendly, intelligent guy currently in Australia, having travelled through Thailand, Laos and Malaysia.

I have a passion for DIY culture and politics, and love helping organise underground events and performing spoken word/poetry internationally. It's great using the skills I've learnt in the UK whilst learning some lovely new ones.

I'm excited by any people and places where independence and originality flourishes in spite of the status quo.

PHILOSOPHY

There is no standard route to success, ever. Because success is entirely personal.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Hitchhiking through Laos with a friend was terrifying, eye-opening and wonderful all at once. Silently watching the panoramic mountain ranges on the back of pick up trucks was simply incredible.

教，学，和分享

I can cook, and will happily cook for everyone's couch I happen to surf on, all vegan and/or veggie too. I know bits and pieces of history and radical politics I would love to discuss, and would love to learn more.

I'm also a performance poet and writer, so would love to share poems, stories, articles, whatever with whoever I'm surfing with.
