About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Four months - Toronto to Seattle with all the wonderful places inbetweeen

ABOUT ME

This summer i graduated with a BA(hons) in Contemporary Photographic Practice. I've enjoyed 5 years of full time arts education and now looking forward to new experiences traveling.

I hope people will find me an honest, polite and respectful person. I'm always interested in learning about other people and experiencing new things. I like to think i remain as open minded as possible to benefit from others perspectives. I'm very enthusiastic about the art, cinema and music i love but really do enjoy rewarding conversations on any subject.

PHILOSOPHY

Current feeling:

"It is the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed.” - Charles Darwin"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couchsurfing served as the best tool on my recent four month trip through North America. I made the most magnificent friends, experienced cities in more intimate and personal ways than i could have ever imagined.

Now i've returned to London i hope to begin hosting fellow surfers in the near future. The experience and concept of couch surfing is so inspiring and gratifying and i look forward to what the future will bring
