Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm looking to surf over the next few months. I really hope to get in a position where I can host soon too :)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've not had much experience surfing or hosting yet. But I have met quite a few people through Couchsurfing. I have picked Couchsurfers up from the airport to help them out, and have done things like sandboarding and random roadtrips with great people off here.
Interests
New people, food, sites and sounds; new environments and challenges. My job is to think creatively, so I spend a lot of time doing so. Usually whilst running, playing guitar or travelling.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love all music that is done well. Blues, metal, classical, jazz, world, electronic, instrumental, funk, alternative... etc.
I tend to write more than I read. I really like reading creative/inspirational books to do with my work. My favourite... It's Not How Good You Are, It's How Good You Want To Be, by Paul Arden.
Where to start with movies. Toy Story!! Haha. The Weather Man. Lost in Translation. Casino. Studio Ghibli movies (Howl's Moving Castle, My Neighbour Totoro). The Yes Men Save The World. Into The Wild. Gladiator. That will do for now.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
A pod of dolphins passing me by in a Californian sunset whilst sat on a surfboard. A skydive. Many music concerts of huge variety.
Teach, Learn, Share
Well, I can offer to teach and share my guitar, English and design skills to anybody I might meet.
