About Me

I make fun things on the web. I've studied world development and computer science. I love travelling and music. I'm always up for a beer and enjoy meeting new people.

Having travelling around Asia for most of 2014, I am currently in Washington, USA for a few months. I'm just travelling around, laughing and learning!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've surfed and hosted for quite a few years now and I love it! Anyone with an open mind is welcome in my home. I've hosted more than I've surfed, but hopefully 2015 will change that.

Interests

Street art, music, movies, people and travelling! A huge portion of my life is devoted to travelling and meeting new people. I just love being on the road. Here's a list of photos from all the places I've been the last couple of years: http://www.nofixedplan.net/

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy unique music. I love a line from a Clap Your Hands Say Yeah song; "You look like David Bowie, but you've got nothing new to show me". I like most things that are new. I just really love creating things and I really enjoy it when other people are trying out new stuff too. My favourite bands are bob hund and The Velvet Underground. I love seeing live music and spend a lot of time on concerts and festivals. I also enjoy good movies (Big Fish, Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, Adaptation) and I try to read whenever I can (all time favourite; Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Biking across Cuba is something I will never forget. And the "daydreaming site" on the top of Fuji Rock Festival in Japan is the probably the best place on Earth. The Serengeti plain in Tanzania is also pretty high up there. And WWOOF-ing in China and Nepal! The Himalayas! The Amazon! The Gobi Desert! Ah. I get excited thinking about where I've been and all the places I still haven't seen!

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn Spanish before you're going to South America and never underestimate clean socks!
