About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world. Make cool films. Meet cool people.

ABOUT ME

I'm a freelance Cinematographer. I love to travel - pretty much always with a camera in tow. My general aim in life is to use filmmaking as a device to travel and get some kind of message across in this world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd love to participate within the couchsurfing community as much as I can. When travelling, staying with a local is a great way to really explore wherever it is you are.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None as of yet from this website, I'm very new here.

Interests

I'd say my main interest is most definitely filmmaking. It's my hobby, it's what I study, it's what I want to do with my future and it's my passion. Outside of filmmaking however, I like to fill my time Surfing on the welsh beaches, specifically Llangennith! I also really enjoy snowboarding and I'm itching to get back on the piste. I also very much enjoy skateboarding.

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything Quentin Tarantino or Martin Scorsese touch, turns to gold. Shawshank Redemption and The Big Lebowski are also two near perfect films in my opinon. I am an avid fan of Game of Thrones, both the books and the TV series. If I could, I would uproot my entire life just to get a job working on the Game of Thrones TV series. I also loved Breaking Bad and I strongly believe that It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is the funniest thing I've ever seen.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Snowboarding the Three Valleys in France. It was by far the best thing I've ever done.
