CURRENT MISSION

Work less, live cheap and make things...

ABOUT ME

I've been in Bristol about 18 months now. Just sort of living. I work full time and am a volunteer youth mentor. My main passion is music and i am currently looking at ways I can free up more time to play and create it - exciting times!

PHILOSOPHY

I try to remember everything is a choice and it is better to take risks, be vulnerable and perhaps afraid than to participate in anything which has no meaning. Laugh lots and make stuff.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed a few times and had great experiences. I have always and do still plan to host. My schedule and living situation is a little hectic to allow for this just now - however I am looking at changing this. I look forward to hosting in a few months when I have found a new space and am working less.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have met excellent people through couch surfing and lived in excellent houses which I found through the project. It has been an easy way of connecting with like-minded people wherever I am in the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think one of the most beautiful times i ever had was swimming in the goulburn river, victroia with amazing friends on a sunny day. We were at a great party where the atmosphere was incredible and everyone was united in their joy - RAD STICKS (not a hippy).

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach some guitar, vego cookery, I'm about to learn how to teach english as a foreign language and I co-counsell. I would love to make music, share recipes, go for bike rides and learn magic (especially card tricks)
