ABOUT ME

Tall. Happy!

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe diem. Tempus fugit. Dance until I fall over.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have surfed in India and Europe. Can meet people for a coffee and show them around bits of London but I live with loads of people so it's difficult to host as I'd have to get everyone's agreement...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had a lot of fun, it's almost always interesting.

Interests

I love music (in a really really big way) - there are too many bands to bore you with a long list, let's just say most things that aren't pop...I read novels and biographies, all newspapers, comics and the back of cereal boxes...I love to walk, I love the rain (I have to, I'm British) and I love clouds. I make pictures out of anything I find...

• glastonbury
• festivals
• dancing
• coffee
• comics
• socializing
• drawing
• music
• animation

Music, Movies, and Books

Where to start?

Books: Primo Levi, Donna Tartt, George Orwell, Irvine Welsh, Susanna Clarke, Margaret Atwood, Jung Chang, Cormack McCarthy and Iain Banks
Music: Currently - Radiohead, Broken Bells, Guts, Billie Holiday, Blackalicious, Deckwrecka, Mogwai, Arab Strap, Boxcutter, Burial, Fink, Fela Cuti, Ali Farka Toure...

Movies: My memory for films is so bad that I can watch the same film two or three times and not realise I've seen it until the end...saying that, Withnail and I is one of my favourites, along with The Princess Bride and Back to the Futures I and II

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A double sunrise/rainbow at either ends of the sky at Glastonbury festival was unbelieveably beautiful and the solar Eclipse seen from the edge of a cliff in '99 was pretty surreal...Sunset in the Himalayas in Nepal - absolutely the best thing I have ever seen.

Teach, Learn, Share

The square root of minus one is i, which is an imaginary number.

You can make a pin-hole camera with your mouth.

The plastic bits on the ends of your shoelaces are called "iglets".
Apart from that, I could teach some drawing, Photoshop and Illustrator on Macs and PCs.
