Hey - I'm Sam. Nice to meet you!

I'm a chilled out bloke and find it easy to get along with others and make new friends. While I enjoy a fairly Zen approach to life, I also work very hard when it comes to goals I have set or projects I am working on.

I am embarking on a 6 month trip spanning Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and India -- and couldn't be any more excited to explore new places and meet amazing people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting up and staying with like-minded people who are open and giving enough to let travellers stay at their homes will be an incredibly rewarding experience.

New experiences are what I live for.

Interests

I'm a big music-head and love most stuff. For years I ran a music blog at soniscope.com which explored the world of experimental beats and electronic oddities.

I studied Film at University - I love films with history, but also films and short films that push the boundaries of story telling and technology.

While I enjoy reading many books, I always find myself coming back to fantasy & adventure stories. Swords, magic and all that.
