‘The permanent mystery was how much you seemed to know before you knew anything at all. Or maybe the permanent mystery was how stupid you could be and yet how you clung to evidence that your stupidity knew things you didn’t.’

I worked as a support worker for adults with long term mental health challenges like paranoid schizophrenia living in the community where I live, Finsbury Park in north London up until recently.

Now I write about sports betting for a living so I can save money for a diploma in therapeutic counselling.

But funny with it yeah.

Music, reading, sports, conversation and attempting to cook vegan food are things I spend a lot of my time on.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Kindness and sharing are to be encouraged, as is anything which renders money unimportant.
