About Me

ABOUT ME

spaced out, and often late.
I'm not a hard Worker, i prefer to play. Although I am now studying at goldsmiths uni in london doing art history and i'm working in a cafe in a park. i want to save some money to do some travelling adventuring when i finish uni. I have lived in London my whole life, and although i love it, i am really excited to begin to explore new places. I want to start off in Europe, with a camera and walk round old cities.
Like so many people on CS, i am interested Primarily and mainly in the arts, art of all and any kind, philosophy, music, theater, art, dance, architecture, and i want to surround myself in it!
I sing myself, and have only just started performing some gigs here is a short video link to an event that me and my brother organised;

There is a big music scene in london, which is amazing, but it is hard to make a living from gigs, if it is your sole living wage!
I was going to study English at university in london, but i didn't get the place i wanted, perhaps it's fate , as now i have decided to travel. Not travel in a holiday sense, but more of a cultural exchange sense. I want to really get to know the places i go, not just holiday there, perhaps live there for a while and busk. who knows.
I find it hard to describe myself, but i like to meet knew people, and try hard to get on with most poeple, i like time to myself too, as do we all, time to reflect.
I love to sleep and generally be horizontally comfortable. yet i love fun sport, not exercise but fun sport and running.
I drink lots of red wine, and eat lots of cheese, yet am french in no way. I have a projector at home and spend nights projecting films on my walls, with friends and cushions and wine and cereal.
My favorite supermarket is liddle!
Hopefully My couch in london will also be available soon
