CURRENT MISSION

enjoy a creative and fulfilling lifestyle in which i move around as little as possible preffereably cycing distances to see as many friends as possible and do something worth doing as part of my career

ABOUT ME

I am a recently graduated documentary filmmaker living and working in london. I like to cycle to get around when I can. I have quite an ecclectic taste in music and an interest in independant cinema.

I am reasonably well travelled but would love to see a lot more of the world. I like to read, play the guitar, cook and eat good food.

PHILOSOPHY

I guess one of my favourite lines is that in life you will meet a lot of people that are arseholes but when they pass you by they can continue to be an arse hole and have to deal with that every minute of every day but you will be able to go on and not have to deal with them again.

I'm quite open minded and a good listener but I've seen enough of the world to have something to say when someone has an opinion about something.

I'm not sure I have a philosophy thats a little ridgid, I just like to lead life in a certain way I guess

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm always interested to find the nice places that people discover. I've been in london a few months now so know my way around and know a few choice places but I don't know london very well. I'm currently living with my granmother in south london so cannot offer a couch or spare room to anyone until I find a place with friends in North London. however I am keen to pass on or learn any inside knowledge of London's sub culture hot spots and what have you...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

none yet but I've heard some good stories about the site

Interests

photography, filmmaking, documentary film (not trashy reality tv content), reading (especially an interest when I moved to london with all the commuting) independant establishments - cinemas, coffee shops and pubs, I'm big on festivals (not for the beer and cider and bad taste hats) I'm more interested in seeing bands, dancing camping and siting around a fire talking.
