CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I grew up in east and north London, i truly caught the travel bug at age 18 in 2008 when I inter-railed around Europe with some close friends on a skateboarding trip. I haven't looked back since and have hitchhiked, couch surfed and ride-shared my way around Europe several times since as well as the east coast of the USA. I spent a year traveling with my girlfriend across India, Nepal, Thailand and Australia.

As well as working in the film industry as an Art Director, I'm a freelance photographer, filmmaker & designer, self-publishing books and exhibitions. I have enjoyed collaborating on many projects on my travels.

PHILOSOPHY

with energy and enthusiasm and an open mind!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed across the east coast of america with 2 good friends in summer 2010, we were hosted by a brilliant and diverse set of people such as 3 brothers in Brooklyn, a family in Memphis and two roomates in New Orleans.

I have couchsurfed in Belgium too, when me and 3 friends took a 'pilgrimage' to see one of our favorite bands 'Beirut' in Antwerp in summer 2011.

I also couchsurfed during a trip to the north of Thailand whilst me and my girlfriend were living in the south of Thailand.

I have also hosted couchsurfers in London and Brighton, which were great experiences!
