CURRENT MISSION

Listen. Laugh. Dance.

ABOUT ME

I am a recent politics graduate, long-time drifter, and all-time optimist. I like dancing at sunrise, hitchhiking in lorries, playing with toys, writing, feeling mud between my toes, desert horizons, sharing stories, sharing food, sharing skills... sharing in general =)

PHILOSOPHY

"Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

With open door (when I have one) and open mind

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Most has not been through the site, but rather when my poor organisation leaves me stranded and I am amazed, over and over again, how many people around the world are kind enough to offer me a bed for the night. I've only hosted 2 people and stayed with 2 through the site, but through those experiences I've met people I always want in my life.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Hard to pick favourites, but I tend to go for surrealism, black humour and epic cinematography. A few current loves include 'El Infierno', 'Rebellion', 'Fight Club', 'La Montana Sagrada', 'Delhi Belly', 'The Fall', 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas'...

Music: Tastes fairly eclectic and mood-dependent, but I love old rock, blues, reggae, Celtic, psytrance, acoustic, jungle, Middle-Eastern, Balkan, jazz, Flamenco...

Books: As a writer, I'm interested in where travel writing meets investigative journalism and anthropology, so I read a lot of that. Also political histories, satire, classic literature, poetry... when I travel I love to read local writers, so I'll probably ask for recommendations!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing things I've encountered are other people, and I could never pick just one!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always keen to teach, learn or share circus skills - especially poi or hula hoops. I also love to practice my Spanish or learn other languages, and learn traditional recipes and eco-construction techniques.
