CURRENT MISSION

To grow gills

ABOUT ME

I like slow strides and taking photos, non-regretful tattoos, hand painted signs and surfing.I like making documentary films about fiction and painting in places I'm not supposed to. I dislike coriander, television, and filling in forms and I like the Blues , Harmonica, and fairy lights perhaps a little too much..I love diving when I can afford it, and snorkaling when I can't.

I'm a freelance creative by trade, sometimes teacher, I paint pictures, illustration, design things and make documentary films. I also volunteer as Creative Director for PangeaSeed, an ocean conservation organization focused on saving sharks and their habitat..I like to talk about sharks and other salty things. www.pangeaseed.org

I'm a clean, interested, open and independent couch surfer. I try to be as vegan as I can be, but don't mind if your not. I love a good exchange but know when not to over stay my welcome...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surf and host, host and surf. Some of best times and people for me come through this magical network.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Meet some beautiful peoples in South America who were more than hospitable, letting a strange stranger into there lives with open arms. Same again in India. Been lucky to have nothing but great guests to my Tortilla Flat in Japan and a fair few in Colombo..
