CURRENT MISSION

Finish my screenplay

ABOUT ME

Born in London, grew up between England and Australia, now living in Berlin. Writer/director for films, right now I'm mostly keeping my head down at/on the writing table. I like hearing people's stories, even the boring ones, and usually find people's failures more inspiring than their achievements.

PHILOSOPHY

The earth is round so walk backwards.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting & surfing, meeting for a drink and misadventure.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My CS experiences have usually been brief but great. Surfed in Israel, Germany and Bulgaria; hosted in Germany. More please.

Centres d'intérêt

I started an old suitcase collection and by now they can almost reach the ceiling. A cactus is balanced on top and luckily he, unlike me, doesn't need much watering.
