CURRENT MISSION

To live life like a musical, singing and dancing all the way through..

ABOUT ME

I suppose I'm a peace-loving open-minded type, lover of music, art, philosophy and science.. and playing, most importantly. I've been helpxing around Europe since June 2009, funding myself with the occasional bit of illustration work. Made some great friends (possibly for life) during my time as a hobo already, and hope to continue that for the foreseeable future. Um.. what else.. I guess I might be a bit shy sometimes at first, but tend to open up pretty quickly in a friendly environment.

PHILOSOPHY

'Try 'owt once, twice if i like it..'

My main intellectual heroes are Bill Hicks and Alan Watts (with a bit of George Carlin for some healthy scepticism)..

And.. I believe that it is important to regularly remove yourself from your comfort zone, in order to grow as a person, open your mind to new ways of thinking and living, and experience things you never even knew existed..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed several times around Europe.. Hosted a couple of times.. all excellent experiences.

I've met some great people with every couchsurf, but each experience has really made me wish I'd studied languages more..

Interests

Art and illustration.
Traveling?
Music.
Philosophy.
Walking.
Cruising around on my BMX..

and.. I have a certain love for reading conspiracy theories, whether I think they are true or not..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's quite difficult to single out just one or two events, and I'm sure my experiences are not as fantastic or jaw-dropping as other people have around the world, though I like to think my sense of wonder could rival theirs in the more modest things I've seen..

but i did recently stand on the ridge of the great rift valley in kenya.. that was fairly epic..
