ABOUT ME
Hitting my third decade hard. They say that youth is wasted on the young and I fear 'they' may be right, so I plan to squeeze as much as I can into this little life while I've got the time. Starting with seeing the world.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I love to meet new people, and if I had a couch to offer I'd do so freely. However, living in student occomadation makes this hard, though I'm very happy to offer a coffe/ tour. I'm moving house in September though, so a couch in the corner 'may' appear.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My CS experience is limited to staying round friends or relatives at the moment, though I'm told they've all been happy to recieve me...
Interests
Music (playing, listening, watching, discovering, creating), Films (really, anything, almost), Photography (film and digital), Reading, Writing (poetry, songs, tales, as much as I can on my typewriter), spending time with friends (cliched as it sounds), cycling, travelling, urban exploring, and of course cars

Music, Movies, and Books
Books, easy: On the Road by Jack Kerouac. All other literature pales when compared to this masterpiece. I find it so inspiring and beautifully written it makes me feel so alive. Saying that, Orwell, Ballard and Kafka are some other favourites.
Music, a little harder: David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Velvet Underground, The Beatles (in particular George Harrison), Bon Iver, Edward Sharpe and the Magntic Zeros, Led Zeppelin, The Smiths, Ludovico Einaudi, Paul Weller, Jimi Hendrix, Jack White, Joy Division, Charlie Winston, Magic Numbers, Nick Cave, She + Him, Roxy Music, Regina Spektor, Iron and Wine, Camera Obscura, Albert King...no particular order, and missing out A LOT, more so what I've been listening to recently.
Movies, way too tough:...
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I saw the aurora borealis in Iceland which is an experience that will stay with me for the rest of my life. Astonishing and humbling.
