About Me

I am an outgoing, lively, and friendly fellow. I love meeting new people and learning new things. I love to travel (of course) and at the end of June 2015 I'll begin a trip from Calgary, Canada to as far South as possible (Argentina is the dream) with my my number 1 lady Miss Zoe Moyden .

In the UK I works as PR consultant for sustainable businesses and this year I am working on my first documentary production 'The Secret of Change' which looks at the Transition Towns movement in West Coast North America.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing mainly to meet lovely people, make new friends and visit nice places.

I am in a Transitioning phase (living wise) at the moment as we are searching for a room to live in in Bristol so unable to accept guests (as much as I would love to) but get in touch anyway and we could always meet up.

Interests

I have many interests, including photography, film-making, travelling, sailing, partying, fishing, playing sports, music, the outdoors, nature, cycling/mountain biking, and food. I am also passionate about sustainability. Most of all i'm interested in trying new things!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - Love a huge range of music, at the moment I'm listening to a fair bit of House, jungle Drum & Bass, Electro swing, And also Motown, Ben Howard, Acoustic and more... like i said huge range.

Movies - Big fan of documentaries

Books - at the moment, mainly non-fiction film-making related stuff but also have recently read: Three Cups of Tea, Stasiland, and The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents (Love Terry Pratchet).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiked from Guatemala to Panama.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm determined to improve my rather poor Spanish so any opportunity to do that is a bonus. Similarly, I'm happy to help anyone with their English - did a TEFL course a few years ago (although never used it I must admit)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I hope that what I can share with any host is interesting conversation, friendship, and a good laugh (which has to be the most important thing in my mind).

Countries I’ve Visited

Costa Rica, Croatia, El Salvador, France, Germany, Guatemala, Honduras, Italy, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Spain, Sweden

Countries I’ve Lived In

Costa Rica, England, Wales
