Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Having recently finished working as an official film-maker for the Mongol Rally 2016 riding with teams driving all the way from the UK to Mongolia, I am now hitch-hiking back home through Europe.
ABOUT ME
I travel for the same reasons I make films. I love meeting new people and hearing their stories, learning about new cultures and sharing experiences.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing is a great way to meet people and get up close and personal to new communities and cultures. I love the authentic impression you can get of a place, along with the insider knowledge and advice!
Interests
My life revolves around art, music and film-making, sometimes going from one to the other, often a combination of all three!
- arts
- photography
- documentaries
- dining
- coffee
- running
- movies
- traveling
- socializing
- music

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
My most recent film project was a documentary about Syrian refugees coming through Europe. We stayed in Hungary and Croatia, and my team and I met many amazing people with incredible stories. We were also able to spend some time bringing food and supplies to the refugees.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I will gladly offer what I can in return for a place to stay or a chat over coffee! I run film classes and can teach the basics of film-making or photography. If you work with volunteers we can talk about making a film to promote your organisation! I'm a musician too and can show you some guitar or piano :)
Otherwise, I'll do your washing up!
