past

I've been on the move traveling, teaching English and writing for the past two years. I've spent time teaching in Kazakhstan, bumming around Europe and California in a van, I spent some time in Morocco where i spent some time farming on a perma-culture farm, and most recently I have travelled through Central America and parts of South America working on some creative projects along the way.

now

After a creative summer in London I'm heading off to Thailand and Myanmar for a while to escape the encroaching British Winter.

about me

I keep busy, but lazily. i love the wild and the big city. but in very different ways.

philosophy

REGRETTING THINGS WILL SUCK. i think that's important to remember.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to share - to explore - to party - to try/ see new things - and most of all to meet interesting and conscientious people in their own backyards.

And I'll host like crazy when i have a home again.

Interests

I snowboard, I read,I surf, I love the outdoor life and the city life so right now I'm just trying to find a balance, I try to travel slow and I always carry my film camera with me just in case there's something weird and wonderful coming my way.

I write a lot - plays, screenplays and currently a weird novel - and i'm down to get creative with anyone who fancies making something. --- And i'm currently trying to really improve my Spanish so language exchanges are very welcome.

Music, Movies, and Books

Jorge Luis Borges. He kills it. Read all of it.
Don Delillo - Tom Wolfe - Orwell - Kesey - Merleu-Ponty (seriously) - Camus - Sarte - Brautigan - David Foster Wallace ---- Infinite jest if you've got the time/patience. It's unreal. Commit.

hiphop. reggea. house. techno. mostly. but open to find the new sound..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

managed to get a free comped room at a casino/hotel in Reno, Nevada whilst sporting drawn on stubble covering a failed drawn on mustache and attempting a Texas accent

there was cake

i do declare

Teach, Learn, Share

I rock climb and i love going on NIGHT MISSIONS! although i do not have any secret attacks to protect us against bad guys.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a qualified English teacher so I will be happy to teach, possibly in exchange for some help with my own attempts at learning the local language. also I am a semi-decent cook and i'm nothing if not willing to be more than a semi-decent cook. so watch out. there's possibly some semi-decent food coming your way.
