About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living on fumes

ABOUT ME

I hate writing these things because it's so difficult to summarise the sheer brilliance of my personality in such a small space.

Primarily, though, I'm modest.

PHILOSOPHY

What? I don't think I have one.
I like being nice. Being nice makes the world turn.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I graduated into the couchsurfing world through setting tables for my friends' couchsurfers, and entertaining them with stories of my days as a professional dingo wrestler. Then I progressed in the world by surfing in the UK, Europe, Middle East and US.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

See above. I love couchsurfing.

Interests

Eating is very important to me. Politics: Australian, Middle Eastern, British...
Wandering...
Journalism.

Not in that order

  • writing
  • politics

Music, Movies, and Books

These days I am mostly reading non-fiction texts about politics and the Middle East etc, but I feel like I should read more novels. They're such great escapes.

Music: What is the year 2005? My music tastes are mostly stuck in the years prior to that.

Films; I'm not really a film buff and tend to fall to sleep if I'm watching one after 8PM, but I like them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

heaps

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been teaching myself and learning about the Middle East for two years now, so I understand very, very, very little! I'm pretty good on Australian politics though, but that's less interesting. Not enough violence.
