About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Vagabonding in a nonspecific direction in search of freedom, fulfillment and myself

ABOUT ME

Hello! My name is Adam and i'm self-condemned to wandering far & wide in a self-converted ex-Royal Mail delivery van on a pilgrimage to nowhere in particular, accompanied by Bastian the white German Shepherd. I'm not so much looking to surf couches as I am to meet their usual occupants, over drinks, food, instruments, in places unknown to me but well-known to them. A point in the direction of a good busking spot, or an indication to a good place to park the bus for a few days would be received most graciously.

Por el momento, estoy viajando por España. Quiero aprender la idioma y conocer la gente, porque tengo muchisimo amor por la pais. Bueno...es dificil para mi a escribir sobre mi en Español, pues ingles es mejor por aqui. Pero si nos encontrarse, yo puedo practicar. Hasta luego!

PHILOSOPHY

If lives are lived in stages, mine is at self-discovery. I hope & believe that travelling to many different places and meeting lots of different people is a means to that end.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a travelling couch. You can sleep on it if you can find it.

Interests

Foreign card games. Strange cured meats and cheeses. Anthropology. Subversion & subversives. Folk music by real folks. Giving books away after you've read them. Free food with yer beer. The freedom to move from living in an isolated spot in the mountains to the centre of an exciting city whenever the mood takes me. Birds of prey. Self-sustainable living. Earthships. DIY. Permaculture. Bonfires. Sleeping outside.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could attempt to teach (to varying degrees of success...) guitar, banjo, mandolin, English, basic DIY, could definitely teach what NOT to do when converting a van into a home (learned the hard way) installing woodburners, doggy stuff, busking tips...really scraping the barrel here. Tying shoelaces?

Always want to learn more music and more Spanish, and more about Spain. Food. Carpentry. Mechanics. Sustainable living. Communal living. More about livinggg!

Share? I could share a song or two, as long as you play along, or bang the table or tap your foot or something...
