I want to see the world and photograph it. Immerse myself in other cultures, have adventures, have fun and make the most out of every opportunity!

I am the Travelling Artist and my online business VagaBeyond is where I help travel lovers celebrate culture using mixed media photography art.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't just want to travel, I want to travel, meet local people and experience each unique place in a unique way. The luxury of staying with someone who knows the area has been realised by Couch Surfing and I LOVE IT!!

Interests

Huge rugby union fan. I used to play for many years back in the UK. Travel is my passion and photography is part of that experience. Art and design is where I use my creative skills and outdoor activities are also high on the agenda - hiking, running, fitness, skiing - the list goes on.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music = lots of things! I'm not much of a muso. I listen to classical when I paint. Anything from Adele, Beyonce and Amy Winehouse to Coldplay, Kasabian and I love Mumford and Sons

Films = lots! science fiction, thrillers, drama, popular culture. Massive fan of true stories and in depth extended documentaries.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Its hard to think of just one!! I have been to 48 countries.

Teach, Learn, Share
