About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm a young filmmaker looking for inspiration from exciting cultures across the globe

ABOUT ME

I am a filmmaker and film enthusiast. I LOVE to watch films just as much as make them. The cinema is possibly my favourite place to visit.
I am a keen drummer, and have played in quite a few bands. I also like to play guitar and piano, and write music for fun (and often for a laugh, as most don't sound that great).
Cooking, eating, drinking, playing tennis, squash, bowling and pool are just a few of my other eclectic interests.

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing is unachievable... it all depends how hard you fight for it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As I am just travelling around China and Taiwan at the moment, I sadly can't offer any accommodation to others. But once I have got an idea of how I can settle down in Asia I will definitely change my status, and free up a couch.

Sadly I don't read at all really. That might sound strange, but I never really liked it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Had one of my films on BBC... that was a pretty cool moment.
