About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Keep it varied

ABOUT ME

Just moved to London and loving it. I'm a curious person and learning and making things are my main pleasures in life, followed closely by many others!

Always up for doing and seeing new things.

These are my awesome housemates:

PHILOSOPHY

What is your personal philosophy?
Enjoy yourself, try to be nice while you're doing it! Always question things, especially yourself.

Why do you live your life?
I got born, to change, to learn?! I don't know what kind of question is that?!

Feelings?
Pay them attention. Love is good, hate is bad!

Thoughts?
Brains are interesting

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted several people and been to some of the CS meetings in Manchester, all great fun! Surfed once which was excellent. Made some great friends through this site.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted a fair few people in Manchester last year and now in London. Met some great folks and made a few really good friends! Only surfed a couple of times so far but I hope this will change soon!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

How to choose, how to choose?!

Scuba diving on coral reefs in Thailand, that was full on psychedelic awesomeness! One of my favourite experiences ever.

Teach, Learn, Share

As knowledge increases, wonder deepens! My favorite saying.

General science geek. I love making stuff, always half way through several projects (only some of which get finished!) so can teach you about whatever I'm up to! Projection mapping is my latest obsession.

If you're a creative type I'll take you to the London Hackspace which is an incredible creative and social hub that will make you smile!

Want to learn: everything!
