About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning by action, interaction, digital futures.

ABOUT ME

Energetic, creative character on lookout for adventure, new ideas and good vibes. I''m interested in the different consoiderations of normality in the world, really there is no standard. How technology has the power to bring people closer and further apart, trying to expose that in video art.
I try my hardest to remove my own bias, and understand individuals points of view, shoe wearing.

PHILOSOPHY

Balance of discomfort and comfort, comfort being the reward for pushing boundaries. I try for 3 things a day which make me nervous or just something new. A most frustrating but rewarding endeavour.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rode my bicycle over the Balkans. Something I didn't think I was capable of. spending time in these surreal landscapes where the only way out is riding up a cliff in either direction is very humbling.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm addicted to ball in a cup(kendama).. haha so i can teach you that. Or hacky sack, juggling, some basics of beatboxing. Also really keen to learn how to cook food from different places! I also make pretty good veg curry ;)
