About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To create a worldwide network of friends and find the best coffee bean on this third rock from the sun.

ABOUT ME

I'm in search for new experiences. Coming from a relatively traditional middle class family I find the expected route of life rather vacant of all the wonders that travelling can provide. I love England but I'd rather love the world and to justify this I suppose I should see some of it!

I adore the simplicity and beauty of café culture and want nothing more than to one day have my own place. I want to see what is out there already for inspiration and maybe one day find a way to encapsulate all of them to something I can love and cherish and call my own.

At the moment though, I'm a poor english boy with a lot of enthusiasm but could be described as a little 'head in the clouds' - esque when it comes to life. That said I love philosophy, art, architecture and film.

PHILOSOPHY

To not pretend you live by one all-encompassing mantra, but I suppose to take full advantage of what experiences are available to you, and in a time of such mobility anyone who doesn't want to travel I find very hard to comprehend.

To maximise happiness around me, to put stock in the intent of actions but also to allow others to follow their own existential path to meaning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will eventually host when i get my own place. Where that will be I can't say but whenever and wherever it is, I will be accepting anyone who passes the basic of tests.
Key is for me to find a city i'm in love with and want to call home.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My friend Harriet from Copenhagen hosted me for a night.

As for experiences outside of couch surfing i suppose I have quite a few more.
