About Me

I am an intrepid explorer of culture, collector of bizarre and profound experiences, taster, tryer, do-er. I love the spaces in between things, language, music, different ways of seeing the world and expressions what it means to be a human being on this planet at this time.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I much rather meet and get to know real local people when I travel rather than just hotel receptionists. We live in a globalised age where one can travel to the other side of the world and feel like you haven't really left home. I like local experiences, hearing stories and getting a flavour for what it's actually like to live in a particular place. Couchsurfing is a great way to do this and so far I've had some great experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like most music, bar country! Not so much into Hollywood. Books...anything which tells a good story about the human condition.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Kissed the king of Algeria. Traveled across the UK with no money. Cut off a TV presenter live on air. Made Peter Gabriel a cup of tea.
