About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To keep on keeping on!
ABOUT ME
English guy trying to see what the world is getting up to. I can offer you a very easy going chap who loves good food and beer. If we talk about music, film, literature or try and dissect the sociological or philosphical direction of hummanity then I'd be truly grateful for the experience.
At the moment I'm making my way around europe after some years in the UK working as a chef/free lance script reader. Covid has exaughsted a lot of the hope in the world but I'm determined to make the best of it and just have a laugh when we can!
PHILOSOPHY
Life is too fragile not to live it to the fullest. I have legs and I plan to use them to explore this planet.
Interests
From an early age my parents collection of depressing folk music made me slightly cyclical about the world I was born into. I'm happy to say I grew out from that phase. Sure, there are reasons to not think too highly of our times, but music, cinema and art in just about every form has never been more potent with meaning and resonance.
On a day to day basis however you'll find me writing; maybe playing the guitar; smelling wild edible foods and hopefully not poisoning myself with them in the kitchen...

Music, Movies, and Books
Folk, alt rock, punk, metal, jazz, blues, the whole lot!
All cinema is good cinema.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Played bass and sang in a vegetable themed punk band.
Teach, Learn, Share
Would love to improve my extremely basic Italian.
Can teach English and help with creative writing projects, especially film scripts.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Very easy going guy who loves to talk and learn about almost anything! I can show you a few chords on the guitar, talk cinema and cook you a damn good meal!
