About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to experience the world however i possibly can!

ABOUT ME

young (i think still..) crave adventure & new experiences:) i wish to go anywhere i have yet to go, meet people i have yet to meet, then do it all again. travel is about the new friends you make & experiences you share. stories, songs, wine motivated rooftop sunrises. whatever!

PHILOSOPHY

to have fun, to learn, to grow & to experience as much as i can before my time is up..

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Music, Movies, and Books

music - a BIG passion, i play guitar and love most kinds of music. favourite artists are many but naming a bunch: mogwai, tom waits, elbow, wolf parade, tv on the radio, fleet foxes, the beatles, laura marling, beirut, phoenix, st vincent, conor oberst, ryan adams, the strokes, nine inch nails, radiohead, interpol, japandroids, foals, at the drive-in, belle & sebastian, sigur ros, my bloody valentine, the middle east, jack white, arctic monkeys, midnight oil, all the old blues artists - charley patton, son house, blind willie mctell, tommy johnson.. and far too many others!movies - really, just about anything. but specifically: tarantino, rodriguez, coen brothers, van sant, hitchcock. books - love non-fiction, real life stories, philosophy, psychology.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

single moments or month long festivals, breathtaking landscapes or wine with friends. perhaps: iceland in general; the californian coastline at dusk; edinburgh during august; playing the ukukele atop a highland mountain watching the weather roll in (and thankfully mostly by..)

Teach, Learn, Share

we will jam with guitars/ukuleles - i can assist you in making the perfect coffee - we will share travel stories over wine/beer/gin & tonics/cocktails etc - i will improve your tennis or get you started - i meditate and can help you begin

you can help me with languages other than english - play me your favourite artists - show me your favourite literature - teach me to make a new dish.
