I am a writer exploring and interacting with the world through the power of photography and basic human interaction. My focus of interests are the intersection of our shared environment, urban and rural spaces and simple everyday human stories and experiences.

I currently write at dawn.com some of my work can be seen here: http://www.dawn.com/authors/4553/basil-andrews

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet and understand people as I travel outside my hometown.

Interests

Reading, writing, exploring and sharing ideas, for more denser stuff (governance, policies, people movements, indigenous rights, traditional knowledge) deep thoughts about the human nature and being, the fun stuff: bike riding, mountain trekking, walking, drinking a beer and having a conversation canvasing anything and everything.
