I'm a writer and performance artist travelling Europe for the first time. Interested in aviation and in the process of researching a book about plane crashes, although i'm not sure if that's a book people want to buy at the airport. I'm interested in politics and popular culture and I'm always up for discussing these topics. I'm easy in conversation and am able to connect with most people. I'm a very social guest and love to hear about people's lives, share a drink and hang out either clothed or nude.

Most of the time im articulate and hilarious, though this faculty sometimes malfunctions during a hangover.

Interests

I'm interested in art, politics and popular culture. I like playlists, YouTube and dancing. I used to be addicted to news but i've phased that out in favour of consuming more spiritual and wellbeing based content. I love CNN, but it does rot your brain. I like all the usual gay stuff of going to the gym and riding my bike. Coffee is my favourite food. I did photography in undergrad and I love documenting architecture. I used to show my work in galleries but right now it's more of a hobby. Instagram kind of killed photography. It's a great tool for connecting people but too many photos makes photos less special.

Music, Movies, and Books

Home Alone, Blade Runner, Welcome to the Dollhouse, Diva, The Thin Red Line, Paranoid Park, Le Clan. I don't watch as many films as I used to. Other media tends to chew up my time. I do like sitting in a dark cinema melting popcorn in my mouth with Coca-Cola

I have eclectic taste in music. Music puritans hate me because I'm pretty much open to anything that flips the switch in my head. Prince, Brian Eno, Mariah Carey, Eurthymics, No Rome, The 1975, Sakima, Vampire Weekend, George Gershwin, The Smiths, Nelly Furtado, Joni Mitchell, Cat Power, Conan Gray, Ben J Pierce. Pretty much anything I can sing and/or dance to. I love anti by Rihanna. It's such an important record for her and I associate it with good times in my life.

Right now i'm interested in digital detox books and how the silicon valley computer nerds are stealing our attention and focus with technology. I heard the other day that 'aps are as bad as smoking' and I think it's true, and that's why I'm on couch surf. I crave real life human interaction because it's good for the brain and the soul.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I met Diana, Princess of Wales when I was five, and shook hands with her former husband.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know about art, film, some historical things, music, popular culture, some critical theory. I used to study Japanese so I can hold a conversation. I have a good memory. You will find me full of facts.
