My purpose in life is to experience the World. I do this by exploring different cultures, coming to understand the various roots of religion and ultimately, faith. By getting to know people, their fears, desires, catching a glimpse into their life. Wandering down the backstreets and letting the universe come to me. In return, I document what I come to know through art.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Do you have a story that needs to be told?
I am seeking interesting individuals you have had an incredible life, with a story that needs to be told. I want to get to know you deeply, spend some time with you, and ultimately, produce a series of incredible art works to be shown in a glorious exhibition in May 2019.

Interests

Smelling flowers, jumping out of bed. Crying with my best friend, telling someone I love them. Being alone, being surrounded by so much family that you can't think, feeling inspiration within my body, dressing up at home for the sake of dressing up! Charity shops! Finding a designer garment in a charity shop. A willingness to be vulnerable, willingness to love someone, willingness to be loved. Watching Love Actually, listening to Bowie and Pink Floyd. Laughing at myself when I do something really stupid, laughing at someone I love when they do something really stupid. Feeling sad, feeling happy, feeling human. Drawing, painting, creating, poetry, being, feeling, teaching, unleashing creativity in myself. Helping others to unleash creativity in themselves! Being with children ! Connecting with another human being. The Road to El Dorado. Dreaming. Stained glass windows. Places of a religion, places of faith. Chatting with the rich guy, chatting with the poor guy, chatting with the guy who has nothing but has it all. Contemplation over life, over art, over coffee.
India, the Taj Mahal, The Golden Temple, the samosa wallah, watching the sunrise, watching the sunset. Accepting this is all temporary.
