About Me

CURRENT MISSION

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree, there will be an answer: Let it Be.

ABOUT ME

I like anything different, anything fun or unexpected.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Will hopefully have a couch to offer again soon.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm eternally grateful for the kindness of strangers - whether hitchhiking in France or coping badly with Chinese railway bureaucracy, there's always someone to lend a selfless hand.
My first couchsurfing trip was a two month wander through Europe, staying with some of the most exciting and selfless people I've met. Thankyou to Jean, Anna and Dan, Christian, Andre, Basatian, Thorsten and David.
Then I moved to London and started hosting, and we've had a succession of engaged, thoughtful travelers. Thanks to Ruth, Hannah, Diane, Laura, Juan Pablo, Hallie, Cody and Annie :)
I was also hosted by Wesley in Berlin, with three other surfers!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a huge fan of Hunter Thompson, Alastair Reynolds, John Milton, Paulo Coelho, Carlos Castaneda.
I like movies about people and their interactions, rather than about the events outside them.
Metal! Jazz! Psytrance! Gomez!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recording a song with some beautiful people in a hut on a deserted beach in India was pretty special.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love cooking, and try to learn a bit of the local cuisine wherever I go. Up for both teaching and learning.
I could teach English, acting, possibly writing. I know the basics of SLR photography.
We want to host a physicist; student, graduate, research, experimental, quantum, astro...there is a couch for you here.
