Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I've recently moved over to London for work and will be here for the next year and a half. I don't really know anyone from here so would absolutely love to make some friends.
Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you'd like hang out sometime.
ABOUT ME
I'm an easy going individual who treasure's the simpler things in life like a delicious meal or an interesting conversation, meeting new people and experiencing moments which I can remember forever.
PHILOSOPHY
I believe that everyone can make their own paradise, that you can be very happy with very little and as long as you have someone you love to share it with you can live a very rich and fulfilling life.
I believe the world is big and has enough resources for us to share evenly, we shouldn't have to fight for our most basic necessities. And we should always hold the right to voice our opinion no matter what the opinion may be.
I am not a christian, but I think there is some truth in love thy neighbor as thyself. We must always be reminded that we are all human and have felt the same emotions at some time in our life's.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
As I am only new to the site I can't say I've done very much but I hope to both host and be a guest on peoples couches. More than anything tho I want to use couchsurfing to help people on there way and share experiences and advise to people traveling to familiar places to me.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I am new to couchsurfing, although I have slept on numerous couches during my life I have never arranged them prior to falling asleep on them.
In my experiences with strangers in distant lands I can only remark positively. I love meeting new people from far away places and learning all about the place they call home
Interests
I have a deep passion for music. I play/make it almost everyday on a variety of instruments like the guitar, piano, organ, bass guitar, laptop or synthesizer. I have a very hands on approach to this; learning how to play the various instruments by improvisation alone.
Apart from music I'm very interested in art and design; attending exhibitions regularly and making works with an artist collective which I am part of.

Music, Movies, and Books
I listen to a pretty wide range of music, to name a few Bjork, Queens of the Stone Age, Clark, Kate Bush, Aphex Twin, Justice, Manic Street Preachers, SBTRKT, Frédéric Chopin and The Beach Boys.
I'm not much of a reader but some books I've enjoyed are One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Man in the High Castle, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Jonathan Livingston Seagull
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Cycled through Western Europe, surfed the Atlantic Ocien, snowboarded in Bulgaria, chased a flock of sheep down a mountain in the west of Ireland, skydived, got completely lost in New York and sang to a large audience
Teach, Learn, Share
I can sculpt clay quite well and would be happy to teach someone. I'm also quite lucky when it comes to improvised cooking, I could give all my tips away. I can teach how to construct and write a song too.
I think I would like to learn more basic and practical skills, like learning how to knit.
