CURRENT MISSION

I have a theory that the truth is never told during the nine-to-five hours - Hunter S Thompson

ABOUT ME

Trying to read as much of the library as I can, enjoy strange music and film, write a journal and walk the forests.

I studied philosophy and psychology. I've just spent a year teaching at a primary school and in September I'm starting a new job at a homelessness charity in London.

PHILOSOPHY

'I never let my schooling get in the way of my education' - Mark Twain

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new here, but looking forward to host when I'm able to. I'm always ready to meet up and talk though - I love shedding another layer of the onion when you learn something new.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Copenhagen, Gothenburg, some wwoofing here and there

Interests

Finding the gems in every genre from 60s psychedelic folk to Aphex Twin.
Galleries, quality cinema, film photography
Sometimes I worry that I consume more art than I create though.
Exploring abandoned buildings (Detroit is a dream)
The silence of nature somewhere, cooking, laughing

Working with refugees in Leeds, reducing supermarket food waste by cooking it for people(with foodcycle.org.uk), permaculture

and collecting post cards. And writing to Gran with paper and pen.
Cycling everywhere on my old road bike. Cycle Touring.
