About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Learn From You and Sing With You

ABOUT ME

Graduate of Theatre and Digital Arts at Dartington College.
...so my current occupation is trying to find an occupation!

The month of May was a cross-country roadtrip (in England) well over 1,000 miles in my little red car, visiting people, exploring towns, cities, villages, nooks and crannies.

Spent April teaching English Language to a group of German students. From 9-12 in the morning so the rest of the day is my own to spend with you.

Have directed a few plays and worked with a couple of independent film makers: Kayleigh Carroll & Ashley Wing

Have been trying to get bars/restaurants/hotels interested in some good old fashioned cool jazz music to kick start a career as a voice for hire.

Up for a laugh, whatever the occasion (^_^)

PHILOSOPHY

Be a Gentleman.

Willingly throw yourself upon Love's sword.

A friend's Dad once told me: "Worrying only gives you cancer. So don't worry." I worried about this but only for a short while.

I keep my ears and mind open to any philosphy so that I may better understand my own. I have no name nor lable for the things I live by. But the old "do unto others..." phrase is one of my favourites.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to host people; everyone I've hosted has brought me closer to the world and a greater love for people in general.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Recent Couchsurfers have heiled from: Italy, Latvia, Barnstaple (UK), Azores, Spain, Cambridge (UK)

From hosting to being a tour guide in Reading, I love getting involved with couchsurfing. I haven't spent a lot of time actually surfing on other people's couchs but that time will come soon...by the way, do you have a couch?

Interests

singing, street theatre, films, traveling, cooking (student food mostly)
Building walls out of loaves of bread.
Making patterns with body's angles.
A cold glass of Talisker, accompanied by a poorly and wrecklessly made action movie starring either Van Damme, Schwartzeneger or Segal.
Creating Wintery Wonderlands with flour and torchlight.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen the end of the world, a cliff face of rubbish, and endless stream of bin lorries. Hundreds of families picking through shit to get at a clear plastic bottle. The smoke of fires blotting out the Sun, as a host of vultures pick the last scraps of a mountain of carcasses. It neither looks nor smells particularly pleasant.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to teach you about my hometown, and its under-rated history, and its quite interesting present.

Countries I’ve Visited

Andorra, France, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Nicaragua, Thailand, Turkey, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

United Kingdom
