Über mich
CURRENT MISSION
To get from Hong Kong to London by land
ABOUT ME
I am part of the ever expanding international collective of non-fliers. We're a lovely bunch, traversing the earth without ever leaving it. I'm not a hippy, I just don't think that the planet can cope with the current level of hydrocarbon consumption.
I am a generally open-minded guy though, as demonstrated by my current residency in mass-energy-consuming Hong Kong.
At the moment I am trying to get back to my London life as a furniture maker. I'm hoping to meet a few of the people who's countries I pass along the way.
PHILOSOPHY
If you're going to do it, do it really, really well. Or at any rate, try. Or at least think about it. Basically, everything is worth a thought.
And this old Arabic saying: The soul invariably travels at the speed of a camel.
Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Sleeping on peoples' sofas then doing them favours in return. I also participate with then intention of returning all these incredible hosts with some incredible hostage of my own back in London. (Perhaps that should have been host-age...).
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Surfed two sofas to date... Both were great. I think I could get into this CS thing. Looking forward to hosting a few folk in London or possibly even my parents' place in Bath...
Interessen
I am interested in all things woody. And tooly. And machiney. I'm also interested in people getting off their arses and doing stuff. Any stuff. I find personal endeavour a fascinating thing. I find laziness and inactivity one of the most depressing things.
- books
- design
- graphic design
- illustrations
- homesteading
Musik, Filme und Bücher
Dark Russian literature. And picture books.
Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe
Bathing in the moonlight of a summer's night in the grass-walled bath of a rural Zambian homestead springs immediately to mind. There have been other things too.
Lehren, lernen, teilen
I have many practical skills. I make things out of wood. I also know bits about other materials and mechanics too. And a fair bit about graphic design, illustration and book design.
