About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find some direction and purpose, and aim to enjoy life in the meantime

ABOUT ME

I'm quite high on energy. I like to get around a lot, even if only in my own city. I really love travel, but that's nothing new here!
I like to cycle.
I have a terrible sense of humour (lame jokes that miss the wit), but I bring it out far too often.

I also like the warmth, so my life choices (Nottingham, London, Melbourne, Canberra) look like some poor decision-making on my part.

I'm big into art - moving image, abstract, sculpture - and I feel most at home in nature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have only couch surfed a few times in Europe, but I do open my home to couch surfers. I have only had positive experiences, and I hope to continue to do so.

I've had some wonderful people stay in my sharehouse in Canberra, and I am always keen to be a tour guide.

Interests

Music (many genres), piano, architecture, cycling, cars, photography, writing, travelling, procrastinating.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cycling along the mountainous island of Corsica. Crashing a car on the mountainous island of Norfolk. Being completely lost in Mexico City with no Spanish at all. Being chased by robbers on a beach after midnight in the north of Ecuador. The most dangerous place I've been is Melbourne, where homicidal drivers have tried to kill me a few times while I was cycling.
