About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to live today, with eyes wide open.

ABOUT ME

I like good food.
I like to dress up so I look silly and not sexy.
I speak loudly when I get excited.
I love coffee.
I like big words.
I am a secular humanist (as far as I can fathom).
I like the colour yellow.
I like to spin fire.
I am queer.
I have size 6 1/2 (UK) feet.
I can sleep anywhere.
I fall over when drunk.

PHILOSOPHY

to hold tightly, and let go lightly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently, I am about to leave my home and travel, but upon returning, I will host couch surfers if my experience is a god one. Then you can visit Bristol!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed on many couches, without being a surfer. The ones made of wooden slats on indian trains were the most hallucinatory and interesting i think. Futons are hard to fold up.

Interests

I like to make acquaintance wih new faces and collect their stories...

  • dining
  • coffee
  • traveling
  • plate spinning
  • cycling

Music, Movies, and Books

music - Regina Spektor, Bjork, Jaonna Newsom, Jamie Lidell, swing and jive.
books - 'If On A Winter's Night, A Traveller' Italo Calvino, 'The Dice Man' Luke Rhineheart, poetry by Simon Armitage and Michael Rosen.
Site Specific theatre and live performance. The essence, for me can't be distilled into a movie. Carnivals and festivals...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

learning to cycle with no hands on handlebars.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach advanced poi and basic staff, hula hoop, diabolo, plate spinning, costume-making. If you have theatre I can teach lighting too.
I'd like to learn rigging and all forms of cookery.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Croatia, Ecuador, France, Hungary

Countries I’ve Lived In

India, United Kingdom
