CURRENT MISSION

doing as little harm as possible

ABOUT ME

I trained as an artist but then i realised that sadly I had to earn a living. I like bicycles, history, bees, politics, the world, travelling, amateurism, eating things, beer, sleeping, things that are well designed, France, architecture, large bodies of water, walking, reading, hats, the euro, tea, biscuits, being outside, cooking, oak trees, toast, sounds, languages, wine, books, things comfortable to sit on, photographs, pork pies.

PHILOSOPHY

Well since I have taken a taste for MacCoffee 3 in 1 in Siberia I find it diffcult to subscribe to any particular mode of thought.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've provided either wine, good food or simple company to those kind enough to keep me off the streets. I can sometimes put people up if they stray into the wilderness of East London.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A couple in Leicestershire saw us jumping over a fence into a field at night so invited us to stay with them, we camped in their garden and they fed us breakfast. Sometimes people aint so bad after all. Since then I've barged my way into many peoples homes and lives

兴趣

There is very little I am not interested in. My main preoccupations are culture especially the fine and applied arts, architecture and music. I am interested in the interconnectedness of all things in Douglas Adams' words.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I cycled from London to Ulan Bator, that was interesting. The museum of the Microminature in Kiev. that was the best thing ever. They have things smaller than the smallest thing you can think of, including a relief of Uri Gagarin.
