CURRENT MISSION

In the next week or so I'm heading for France to start a course in theatre at the Ecole Philippe Gaulier. That is in a town called Etampes, south of Paris to be precise.

ABOUT ME

So I have been very happy living in this beautiful part of Scotland for the past few years in a lovely house with nice work and beautiful friends. Then I decided to try something else because although I enjoy my work and can do it very well I felt I was too comfortable. In order to get the most out of life I need to be challenged and stimulated. I've been getting into acting, improvisation and comedy the last few years and I now realise this is what I want to do. I went to Edinburgh for the festival fringe in August this year and did a little street show comprising a tragicomedy song and dance routine. Now I want to improve my skills. That is why I'm going to study at the Gaulier school for the next 2 months.

PHILOSOPHY

Respect, love, and tolerance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Over the years I've had plenty of folk sleeping on my couch at Findhorn. We get loads of visitors to the area, particularly people coming to the Findhorn Foundation which is just down the road. This will be my first "official" couch surfing experience however.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Has to be recent and it's the main reason I'm on my current mission. A show at the Edinburgh fringe called Dr. Brown Becaves. An inspired one-man comedy show by Philip Bergers.
