About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Take the thoughts of others, eat them.

ABOUT ME

I would like to start by apologising to the CS community for not being around in the past year. It looks like I missed a chance to host a lot of fun people and now is my chance to rectify that by reconnecting with all you lovely people.

Major interest in film and music, I make documentaries for a living. Feel free to look into my current creation... www.dryingforfreedom.com Ive been very lucky to have been allowed to travel due to my work. There are so many fascinating stories are out there to be told and its lovely when they are translated into a visual medium. I like to laugh, hum, sing, dance, spin, walk, fast walking, sometimes run, bounce, play, sit, sleep, ponder, look, listen, hear, touch, yawn, scream, boil, simmer.

PHILOSOPHY

Fun is Fun.

I want to express myself completely and utterly. I forget to think sometimes if people want to listen, but I feel thats beside the point perhaps. I enjoy sitting and thinking up my own warped philosophies on every aspect of life, despite my inexperience, and those are the things I want to externalise. Its nice to say a thought that you just fabricated from your little head, and have someone say they feel the same way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

OK! So finally a couch is available, And its open to those interested. I want to meet the world in my living room, sit with them and have that lovely time had when you interact with someone brand new, whom your only reason for meeting is a couch, and from that you remember that it is possible to connect with most any human being in the world in some way or another.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

South of France, Switzerland, United States,United Kingdom,
Its brilliant how welcoming people can be who are strangers to you. Im not half as lovely as the people I have been lucky enough to meet but I do try my best.

Interests

Music, Film, books, Working!, I love to drive...The traveling ive done so far is by car, I find it gives me the flexibility to go wherever I want.
Im very involved with my own ventures within film, it makes me a poor man but I get by.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stuck in a McDonalds car park on a Florida highway sitting out a thunderstorm/ nearby tornado trying to travel north to complete a series of interviews for a documentary project. I mean it was frustrating and boring, was just one of those nice moments of reflection when you get to smile to yourself and know that something you have chosen to do has landed you here, and you wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

Id love to learn any thing anyone is willing to teach. Anything I haven't bothered to look into due to my own ignorance only to find out how brilliant it is! How to cook a hat? ANYTHING.

Countries I’ve Visited
