About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See Everything, Meet Everyone

ABOUT ME

I like to live in an environment free of judgement, free of cultural pressure and free of fear. I find that openness, smiles and hugs make my world a better place. I enjoy listening someone's story; who they are, and what experiences define them.

Life for me feels richer in the moment, in the void between the past and the future, where the chitter-chatter in the brain is tame and my attention is external.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn something about everything, not everything about something.
(Jack of all trades, King of none)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Im planning on spending the majority of my 20's traveling, CouchSurfing.
So anytime im fixed in one location, its only fair that i do my bit and offer my couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Over the past few years I have surfed many a couch. These generally haven't been organised through couch surfing but the ethic has been the same. So now I'm putting some effort into updating my profile so people can stay with me!

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: big fan of Pink Floyd and Supertramp, but ill listen to anything, from Indie to Dance, Dubstep to Classical. Currently on Bonobo, Phaeleh, Submotion Orchestra, Einaudi, Little Dragon, that sort of thing.
Books: I go through phases, sometimes ill be hooked on books from the beat generation, sometimes books on spirituality, often chemicals & neuroscience. I'm currently on an anthropology quest; the origins of man surely fascinate everyone?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Easily seeing the sunrise from 3/4 of the way up Mt Cotopaxi, ill make it to the top next time!

Teach, Learn, Share

My education is in Design, so im fairly savy on programs like Solidworks, Photoshop and Illustrator. I can also knock together a decent website if you fancy starting a blog.
