CURRENT MISSION

To get to know different communities and find creative spaces.

ABOUT ME

I'm 31, I work for a psychedelic research foundation doing design and animation, and food is probably what keeps me travelling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had fantastic experiences couchsurfing as a way to get to know the places I visit and the people who live there. I surfed in Japan and my best hosting experience was making room for a 12 strong Balkan band in a small house in Essex. More people than planned but great music and a good time all round.
