ABOUT ME

come and find out .....

This little diddy above is what i used to have as "all about me", see the thing is i haven’t couch surfed a lot but I have hosted a lot hence the friends I have on here. I was quite spoilt as a host because we had so many requests from beautiful people and the space to just accept them all, which we did, honestly i always found the process of selecting surfers from a pool of requests disheartening as i truly feel in some way or another we can learn and grow from interaction with every person on the earth and that there is something unique we each have to offer and receive from each other. However this is a little dreamy particularly with the time space and resource constraints we must all operate within so here is a little bit about me. I finally finished my bachelor of Journalism (3 year degree took about 5) and whilst i do plan to work in this field at some point it is not the driving force in my life. Thus the question what is... Which is a question i guess I’m trying to answer and maybe that’s the point of this topsy turvy story called life? Anyway i have packed my stuff up and whittled down my belongings until they can fit into a 65L backpack and i am now on the road. I am a respectful person and while i will speak up and tell you how i feel i try to be mindful of others, i love the variety in the world and humanity and believe it should be cherished and supported not squashed and gentrified. we can sit down and pick each other’s brains or quietly share the same space. If you have any questions or need to know some more specific details :) just ask me. Hoping to meet you and greet you... Andrew Beard
