About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience other people's world views, and to share my own. To forge genuine connections and build friendships with travellers and adventurers from all over the world - appreciating our differences and celebrating our similarities.

ABOUT ME

I am a filmmaker, philosopher, comedian and adventurer from the North of England, now living and working in London. I studied Philosophy and Physics at Oxford University and now work in Film. I am open, respectful and positive; I enjoy sharing and discovering other people's points of view.

PHILOSOPHY

My favourite part of travelling is meeting people and sharing in their stories. When I go to a new place I always hope to experience it through the eyes of the people who live there, as much as possible. I love to make people laugh and share my perspective too - I think it's amazing that we live in a time where we can reach across the globe so easily, I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to travel the world, participate in new cultures and have colourful adventures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I move around quite a lot, so whenever I have a place it is always open to anyone who needs it! When travelling, the reason Couchsurfing appeals is it provides an opportunity to get to know the individual on a personal level. I think connecting with the people you stay with in a genuine way is completely invaluable.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted several friends in my London home and want to expand to hosting Couchsurfers! I have not yet stayed with a host abroad.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can talk philosophy, physics, and filmmaking. I would love to show you the films I have made and talk about the ones I am hoping to make.
I can tell you about the unimaginably huge size of the universe, and the miracle of our own consciousness. I also love taking the time to appreciate beauty and hope I can provide a fresh perspective on our extraordinary natural world.
I love to cook (vegetarian) and explore new cuisines; and of course I love to dance!
