About Me

Travelling and recording everything on the way to paint a picture of life. I'm housebroken I've been told so there's that.

Currently I'm travelling and documenting everything for a vlog/blog of mine. Check if out if you like, it's the best summary of me you can get: www.partlypunsmostlysad.com

If I need a place to stay I can repay in puns and various film-related activities. Like if you want to make a short-film or just something funny for friends and family, I'll be your cameraman, editor, etc.

Otherwise, I'm laid back and quiet generally but outgoing if so desired.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people and getting connections in whatever place I find myself in. I like to have more friends all over the place.

Interests

I play the ukulele, because it makes everything sound happier.
I tap dance, because Donald O'Connor did and he's amazing.
I swing dance, because it's a great way to get to know someone without talking.
I make films, because I can't paint and still wish to do art.
I love films, because I enjoy the way other people portray their view of the world.
I like languages, because just knowing one is kinda boring.
I love puns, because they make me seem more pungent.(geddit?)
I'm all of banter, because talking is like the best way to express oneself.
