About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world by motorbike, working dodgy jobs on the side to support my film making habits and inevitable motorcycle repairs. Hopefully not hospital bills.

ABOUT ME

Bit of a clown, bit of an old cheese, and honest guy who loves some mischief. There's nothing a rogue-ish grin can't get me out of. I can't stand my own company, and the sound of silence terrifies me. I appreciate and support anything that is silly or ridiculous. I love outrageous claims and ludicrous statements, and I'm willing to back up either of them, even without any hint of evidence in my favour. I love animals and wouldn't at all mind living in a zoo.

PHILOSOPHY

I live in the present, acting on every whim, never turn a good idea down without reason, rarely turn a bad idea down either. Hate organisation and order. Lateral and spontaneous. Find the best in everything, make the most of anything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted over 25 couchsurfers, and now plan to spread the word far and wide. Mostly wide.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I live a nomadic life, wandering from couch to couch to hotel/hostel. I have left the 22 years of life until now behind me, and plan to ride a motorcycle across 5 continents in the next 5 years.

Interests

Films, and making them, nearly every musical genre but rarely anything popular, juggling, writing, having a bit of a paint, clean feet, inventions, experiments, my trumpet, motorbikes, gadgets, untangling knots with my eyes closed, and a good hair-brained scheme.
