Being brought up with quite a multicultural background has resulted in a chronic case of 'itchy feet'. I thrive off new people, new cultures and new experiences.

I studied Social and Public Policy in Scotland.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The greatest part of travelling to me is making connections with local people, places and culture. I am especially interested in seeing the "alternative" side of each city and not just the shiny tourist image.

Interests

I am trying to somehow pursue all of my interests at the same time to:

Be a painter
Open a literary cafe
Work at an animal shelter/sanctuary
Start a band
Be a teacher
Create a social business start-up
Be a poet or write a novel
Direct a modern film-noir based on the novel I wrote
Be a professional pet-sitter

Music, Movies, and Books

I like a lot of different music from Brazilian bossa nova to punk rock, Bulgarian folk music to RnB.

I recently enjoyed reading JD Salinger, Samuel Beckett, Charles Bukowski, Virginia Woolf, Rainer Maria Rilke, Sartre, Bill Bryson and always looking for recommendations.

I am also a huge nerd for critique and sociological literature on history, politics and social justice.

Any documentary on the topic outer space is great.
