ABOUT ME

English. Currently travelling about the place with next to no intent or purpose. Fairly dry sense of humour, and mostly a good person to know. Occasionally will say interesting things, though often without any actual evidence that they are true. Excited by the prospect of visiting new places and seing how it all works elsewhere in the world. Not good at describing myself.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not a philosopher, but here is a picture I took of a building. I hear one of these is worth a thousand words, so you can just make up whatever you like.file://localhost/Users/owenarmstrong/Desktop/71110019.JPG

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I don't live anywhere, so not a great host, but happy to surf on people's couch's if the mood is right.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far, none. I'm a couch virgin. Be gentle with me.

Interests

Music, photography, film, reading and writing. The usual middle-class fare. Here are some linksPhotos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/thegoodmachine/ Writings: http://www.vertigomagazine.co.uk/result.php?search=owen+armstrong&siz=1&submit.x=0&submit.y=0 To be honest, it's always best to find these things out in person. Interests can be a bit fickle. When I was a child I used to enjoy watching cartoons, I don't anymore.

Music, Movies, and Books

I thought we'd already covered this. I'm fairly certain I will always enjoy Led Zeppelin, and I'm usually paying attention to record labels like Soul Jazz Records, Touch Music, Trunk Records among many others, as well as websites like Bleep.com - a great resource for record hunting. The last great film I saw was a three part documentary made by Adam Curtis for the BBC called All Watched Over By Machine Of Loving Grace. I'm currently reading Kill Your Friends by John Niven, and The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera. I've read other books in the past.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I already wrote down some great music websites, I'm not a charity. As much as I doubt this will happen, I'd like someone to teach me Spanish in their own time, free of charge, and in a way that doesn't take up too much of my time.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Cambodia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Russian Federation, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In
