CURRENT MISSION

To live each moment to the full

ABOUT ME

M 29, not 27.

Ive had this account for a few years, used to live in a shared house with a lot of couch surfers coming and going all the time.

Now I live in a beautiful house but have a spare room and thought it would be nice to give some couch surfers the opportunity to lay their heads.

I'm a freelance photographer by profession, @jrigbyphoto is my instagram) it's very fun, interesting. I'm quite out going, I meditate regularly, exercise much, enjoy good music and casual drinking just like everybody else, I like good company and am usually good company myself Unless you catch me after a few days of solid work I'll be pretty zonked out.

Anyway, I genuinely love meeting new people, doing new things. It adds a little more spice to life. I also have a lot of very easy going friends in the area I can introduce you too if your staying for a few days and I have work etc

PHILOSOPHY

I live life to live more, I'm all about over coming blocks, moving out of comfort zones and doing anything humanly possible to live life more to the full.

— I wrote that a-lot of years ago. Now I’m a dad and my philosophy has changed a little. I see the time that we have here is precious and responsibilities shape our lives alot. I think living life to the full is a genuine good which spreads to all of the people around you but it’s not always easy to do. As we age, responsibilities and insecurities can be powerful, and learning to live in the moment despite them is pure grace. But the value of our lives will be weighed also by what we managed to change and leave behind. Hardships should be met with grit until their is grace. Yet amongst the busyness of our lives meeting perfect strangers is still one of my favourite things to do. If you want to spend sometime in someone else’s world get in touch and I would love to welcome you in my home 🏠
