Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Document the world through my own eyes.
ABOUT ME
Born and raised in the green grassy pastoral countryside of Southern England, I am in some ways a country boy. However, we all grow our wings and fly in the direction curiosity points us. I have never lived anywhere else but the south coast so I'm familiar with beaches and possess a passable knowledge of my home county.
To describe myself as a person. Well, I'll try and remember significant opinions from family and friends. I've been told I am a good listener. A kind person. A funny person. A receptive person. A creative person. However, I've been told I have tentative qualities which can socially hinder at times. The longer you spend time with me, the better. I do enjoy my own company every once in a while, yet I am socially adaptable.
PHILOSOPHY
Whatever you are, be a good one.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I want to show myself the world and make some friends in the process. The more the merrier!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I traveled across the USA and Couchsurfed pretty much all the way across the country. So far, so good! I've met some great people that I now consider life-long contacts.
Interests
I love films. I started making my own movies when I was ten and as a hobby it's stuck with me since. I like literature, photography, and I'm obsessed with design. Seriously, it's almost unhealthy how much I love design.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Witnessed a 250ft sand tornado in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt.
Watching the sun set over the coast of the Gulf of Mexico when visiting Florida.
Trekking 80km in 4 days across Dartmoor.
Traveled America solo for 3 months. Met some great folks along the way.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'd love to help and promote film-making. It's an art I fell in love with as a young boy and a career I wish to relentlessly pursue. I'd like to learn new tricks about it too. Also to share ideas and collaborate with others across the globe would be a beautiful opportunity.
