ABOUT ME

I am an arts and craft student, I take inspiration from natural beauty and organic materials. I am creative through photography, film, sculpture or drawing, these are the elements that make me passionate, and keeping me going!

PHILOSOPHY

I sit astride life like a bad rider on a horse. I only owe it to the horse's good nature that I am not thrown off at this very moment.

I believe in creative play and silliness, because if people never did silly things then nothing clever would ever get done!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couch surfing is a way to meet kind and open minded people that are willing to share their homes and life experiences.
Plus - what better way to see a town or city than through the eyes of a resident that knows that place best?

Interests

I enjoy Ceramics, drawing, etching, reading, listening to ted talks and pod casts . My favourite podcasts are that of Joe Rogan's. I listens to talks by Graham Hancock, Christopher Ryan, Randal Carlson and Terrence Mckenna to extend my understanding of our weird world.

As I am am an arty person so I have collaborated with friends and artists to create music videos, animations, contemporary dance performances projects and photo shoots. As I travel I welcome the opportunity for collaboration.

I adore cooking for my family and friends, as the common phrase goes 'you are what you eat', so I make an effort for my food to be enriched with the aroma's and attitudes i have picked up travelling, but a successful dish must be hearty and look pretty good well. To appeal to all the senses ya'know!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One, just one ey?

pfffft.

This is a hard one, amazing, to amaze most would be a task that is kind of adrenaline fuelled or perhaps dangerous to an extent, soooo I would have to say caving in Budapest was pretty amazing. For hours we crawled deeper and further, 95metres deep, throughout our journey we sang hungarians songs in darkness wriggled through the smallest of passages and admired the stalagmite on the grounds up to the stalactite in the heights of the wide openings.
It was truly wonderful. I recommend anyone visiting Budapest to give it a go!
