Originally from England, but now on the road for the foreseeable future, I'm an optimistic guy who feels incredibly lucky to have the opportunities that have come my way.

This is my first time travelling for longer than a few weeks away in a caravan in wales, and I love it for opening my mind to new ideas, meeting new people, and seeing the most incredible places.

My passion is making films, but while I'm travelling I decided to take photos instead which you can see on a little website here:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To drink, eat, and talk to people I might not otherwise be lucky enough to meet. And to feel less like someone on a continuous holiday of hotels, but instead a traveller embracing local culture and having a more genuine experience of the places we find ourselves in.

Interests

Film is my passion above probably everything else, but I also enjoy reading books by obscure writers, meditating, a bit of yoga on the beach, trying to play my ukulele, and debating / discussing everything thats worthwhile to talk about. I have a love of knowledge and understanding the world around me as best I can.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking across Lencois Maranhenses, the most brilliant and beautiful landscape I've yet to see, staying with locals living in the middle of the desert who are completely disconnected from the outside world. A life changing, mind opening experience.
Some photos from the trek here too...!
