About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Exploring Asia before I become a student again

ABOUT ME

Currently in between work and starting a Masters in September back in London. I'm a passionate musician (guitarist, singer, producer), environmentalist (worked for 2.5 years for a Sustainable Development NGO) and educator (taught English in Switzerland for the past 2 years).

PHILOSOPHY

We're living on a planet of finite resources, which are unfairly distributed. I defer to Ghandi: "The world has enough for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed"

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Joined back in 06/07? Had some good experiences but have been on a bit of a surfing hiatus since then, looking to getting back into both sides of it in the coming months.

Music, Movies, and Books

too many to list. My music taste is pretty broad: post/math-rock, glitch-hop. I'm listening to a lot of electronic artists with female vocalists recently e.g. Samaris.

I read a mix of non-fiction, sci-fi. Recently I've been suckered into the Game of Thrones books, hard to resist.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

the grand canyon, table mountain, sugar loaf..
