CURRENT MISSION

I want to meet and listen to as many people of different backgrounds as I can. The world seems to have shit the bed recently so I am doing my best, on a daily basis, to try and understand what has happened and what might happen next.

ABOUT ME

I'm a community organiser for a nature conservation charity. I have a great desire to experience anything I can in the time I have. I am a fan of long winding conversations and discovering lots about people I meet.

PHILOSOPHY

If you needed it, I'd give it to you. - Bob Dylan

Those that mind don't matter, those that matter don't mind. - Dr. Seuss

If I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution. - Emma Goldman

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had the most wonderful experiences in various parts of Europe. People's astounding generosity has continued to contribute towards an evermore positive view of the world. I love CS because it is purely based on principles of honesty, generosity, and self-organisation. A community that stays true to these ideals is a community I will always want to be part of.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wandering alone in a still, silent, Saharan Dessert illuminated by the full moon. I have never since seen peace with my own eyes. It was blue.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can offer willingness to try anything, I can cook for you, I will be eternally grateful for any favours you may do for me and think of the best way to return them, I can try to give advise on matters of design, creativity, community organising, and love to learn more about anything.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my various stories which people seem to find entertaining on the whole, loads of other things. I can give advice on most things related to creativity. I can teach you how to get better usage out of your camera if you like, too.

I also like to do the washing up and fold clothes so I'll be happy to do these too.
