About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To finish my master degree, then turn my computer off for at least a week.

ABOUT ME

I'm young and dumb, trying to become old and wise by listening to people, climbing trees, and reading books.
I love to hitchhike and get lost, I love to explore and be in places I'm not supposed to be.

PHILOSOPHY

When you come to a fork in the road, take it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I make last minute couch requests and rarely find anybody who can host me. I'm not very organised, but I'm trying to do better.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been hosted a few times and it's been amazing. I've found that the people with the least to share share it the most freely. I'm trying to learn from them.

Interests

Books, movies, music, science, people, cultures, language, art, philosophy, many things! I guess I don't really care about sports.

  • arts
  • books
  • breakfast
  • flying
  • movies
  • reading
  • juggling
  • drawing
  • music
  • rock climbing
  • teaching
  • mathematics
  • science

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite favourite music: The Avalanches, Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Pepe Deluxé, Den Sorte Skole, DJ Shadow. There is so much good music out there, it needs to be dug up and listened to.

Catch-22 is my favourite book of all time. I love it so much.
Currently reading: "Something Happened" by Joseph Heller
"Mr. Palomar" by Italo Calvino (beautiful book)
"Le Petit Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
"A Cure for Serpents" by Alberto Denti, the Duke of Pirajno (Amazing book!)

I've seen too many films but I can't stop. Help!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hugged a goat once :3
(Almost as amazing: climbed on a freight train and road it 100 miles, also snuck into some of the tallest buildings in London while they were under construction)

Teach, Learn, Share

I work as a maths tutor, so if you wanna learn some maths, I'm your guy. I can also teach you to juggle, or we can draw a picture together. If you want to hitchhike I have plenty of advice. Maybe I'll even go with you :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Let's go fly a kite!
