Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm fairly new to the CS scene, but i've been an experienced couch surfer both at home and abroad since long before the website emerged!

My couches have been second homes to a lot of people and if I think we're gonna get along it can be your second home in Glasgow as well!

I have friends who have used the site both to host people and to find new friends to hang out with when they were travelling. I've heard great things back about their experiences on almost every occasion.

Interests

Music, Film, Animation, peoples creativity in all its guises, travelling, partying, dreaming, meeting people that are good fun, interesting, exciting and tuned in.

I love all forms of creativity, art and music and writing and talking and thinking and just any means at all of getting the ideas, thoughts and feelings out of our heads and into some form that will help communicate what would otherwise be the abstract and intangible to others.

A few years back I set up a non-profit film project in my area to help local artists and filmmakers find new audiences outside of the larger mainstream cinema venues in the city, I've screened some of my own work at the film nights as well. The project finished up a while back but we still organise screening events for art films, activist work and use the equipment for doing visuals at clubnights and parties.
