About Me

I'm a graduate from The University of Westminster (having studied Illustration) and have just finished a stint around Argentina, Bolivia and Peru.

I've come to Berlin to visit a friend and help start the beginning of an artist collective and record label with a friend.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Recently came to Berlin for the first time and think it's an amazing city, I'd love to meet some people and see how hard it'd be to move and make a life here.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: A bit of everything, however I love Reggae, Jazz, Hip Hop & most electronic music.
Names like Massive Attack, Portishead, Amon Tobin, Boards of Canada etc.
Currently on repeat: Kamasi Washington - The Epic : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtQRBzSN9Vw&list=PLT_aBs9pjfFY_EKyN9ETe8mCVAe5hpkb1

Movies: Always been a sucker for animation (favourite all time film is The Jungle Book) but I do like the odd strange bit of cinema too, things like: Dogtooth, Eraser Head, A Scanner Darkly.
Anything that isn't trying to be too realistic.

Books: Recently been reading the Carlos Castaneda books on Don Juan.
Currently reading: Lost Horizon by James Hilton.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitch hiked across most of Argentina, stayed with some amazing people. Found myself getting a lifts from an Argentinian coke barren, an almost blind trucker and a group of gypsies.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Can offer some English and a teeny tiny poco bit of Spanish.

Learn: I'd love to know more in and outs of German culture (although I've heard Berlin isn't all that typical of Germany) and absorb as much of the language as possible. Perhaps some mindfulness or some yoga.

Share: Laughs, stories and good vibes!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Again mainly good vibes and laughter! I can also make a pretty nice lentil dhal.
