About Me

ABOUT ME

A bit of a long story. I guess the first thing to say about me is that I'm a third culture kid. I spent a lot of my younger years traveling, living in the UK and Philippines predominantly and having a bit of Thailand and Saudi Arabia in the mix too. I guess thats why my accent changes a lot depending on where I am in the world.

I studied Documentary Photography in the UK, now I have moved back to Philippines for a bit of chill time while working as an editor for a photography magazine all in the comfort of my own home :) life is good at the moment.

Anyway I

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm really much a social guy and meeting people is such a great experience. Traveling is great but meeting people while doing it makes the adventure X100 better.

Interests

I guess I have to say I like photography right? But apart from that I quite enjoy the arts. I have quite keen on a bit of web design, I also have a bit of marketing background and I am also in the process of making a documentary photography website dedicated to the Philippines.

Music, Movies, and Books

Scrap the above- What are my favorite Youtube channels - The School of Life, Kurtsgazat, Scishow, Seeker Daily, Dnews, Vice, The Young Turks, Vsauce, Etc... I think it's informative channels for science, the arts, news, and politics. Basically sources with little bias or no bias at all.

I think it kinda paints a picture of who I am, I hope?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved country, by myself at the age of 17 and just went through it. I put myself through university and graduated. Standing back and looking at it I think I can say I'm proud of what I have achieved so far (boasting aside)

Teach, Learn, Share

I know all about Photography ask me how to use your camera and I'll teach you how to use it to its full potential and what to look for when making a picture. :)

Dont ask me to cook Filipino food :)
