Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love couch surfing and do it as much as i possibly can. after spending two years travelling and being hosted by lots of amazing people i would now like to return the favour whenever i can. I do live in a converted horsebox in the middle of knowhere though so its always a little cosy and back to basics

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been hosts by wonderful people all across Europe as i travelled on my bycycle for two long summers. now i am a bit more static I would like to return the favor

Interests

I have the privilage of doing what i love most for a living, making and teaching art. I also love learning and teaching circus skills of all sorts. I love walking and climbing mountains, campfires, tea, whisky and quiet nights on the pub. My all time hero is Samwise Gamgee, a hobbit through and through.

Music, Movies, and Books

My all time favourite book (or books) are Tolkin's 'Lord of the Rings'

For some reason X-men 2 is the film i have chosen to watch over and over more times than any - don't think its my favourite though.

I love Folk music and experimental stuff, really enjoying Seth Lakeman and My Brightest Dimand at the moment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing Kilimanjaro with my friend Tomo 2 summers ago was probably one of my favourite memories. Was totally blown away by the crazy and beautiful world we live in.

I rode an old vintage tricycle from Bristol to Albania, and made lots of street circus shows on the way. that was a lot of fun!

I ran away to join the circus.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love sharing ideas about philosophy, faith and ethics.
I am always happy to teach and learn new circus tricks with people.
If you like Art lets talk or make some mess.
Really interested in sustainable living and converted an old horselorry into an off the grid home.

and i really want to learn Ukulele if anyone would like to teach me!
