CURRENT MISSION

Getting lost in SE Asia

ABOUT ME

I have been lost in Glasgow for twenty years now. It is an easy city for this to happen. I really should be illustrating and painting but, I can be really lazy. When I'm not buried in a book I play my music really loud and dance my legs down to the knees.Otherwise, I write and play music for the band 'A Heavy Death in The Family' and founding member of the band, now parted, 'Curiosity Shop '. I live alone with my charismatic cat Napoleon. Predictably, I'm an artist and musician...seriously. I am also a Dymo Labeller enthusiast and collector of palindromes, maxims and proverbs. I don't own a T.V, I never will. I'm good at keeping secrets.I cycle everywhere. I hate rude people and phones. especially rude people on phones.

PHILOSOPHY

Plus Ca Change, C'est la meme Chose!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfing is good for your karma, you dig?! Leave your ego behind and say "YES" to any adventure. I have met some of the most beautiful humans through CS, and it is hard to say goodbye sometimes but, that's the ephemeral nature of travelling.
