About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Travel the WORLD :)
I find it the best therapy. The best education. The best way forward.
Currently in the UK making moves to improve the world through activism, namely pseudo-insurrection / direct activism wherever I can find it.

ABOUT ME

I've been working for a while now, towards the "american dream" (I'm English!) and have found it is quite fruitless. I've decided to travel a while before going back to more education.
I have re-found my love for exploring new places and meeting new people. It's what really turns me on right now. Every day is a new adventure!

I'm HONEST and INTEGRAL and believe strongly in karma. Not a thief; can't stand that, really.
I'm sharp and fun and get along with everyone I meet. Music, food, sights and sounds.

PHILOSOPHY

Do What You Do...
But do it WELL,
and everything will be alright.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I only have the footage and stories to share.
Right now I have no couch. Sorry.
If you're offering your couch to interesting and fun-loving people with respect for other's property and lifestyles, im sure I'll fit right in.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
