PHILOSOPHY

Still in development but to create, explore and imagine

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far surfing through America, and hopefully soon the rest of the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm pretty new to couch surfing but I have so far stayed with a huge variety of interesting and insightful people.

Interests

Coinciding with my main passion of filmmaking, I have a huge love of the arts especially fine art and sculpture. I often spend my time purposely getting lost in new places to learn more about its hidden world rather than following the general tourist routes.

One of my other intentions for travelling is to refuel my imagination with the aim of writing a new short film when I return. I have also become very interested in 35mm photography and most of my recent images have been posted on my blog http://maxlincoln.tumblr.com/
