About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world creating epic photo art with awesome individuals!

ABOUT ME

Just another rogue at heart, looking for sum epic adventure time...

#polyamorous #burner #gamer #intimate #artist
#hippy #tech #punk #bi-sexual #dancer #gent #geek

Either working on a new project or goofing around ;) with out the blue thoughts about science, magic, politics, social constructs, emotions, life, the world, consciousness, particles, being, things I find odd, sexual, horrific, beautiful, amazing. I like reading New Scientist - if only to help my plan to make pokemon a reality and feed my undying hope the world will turn into Blade Runner, ;)

Let's make fun, art, loaf around, play video games, go see a movie, make a movie, take some photos, do some drawing, build something, go somewhere, explore, have a new adventure or just hang out and loaf taking in this epic thing we call existence.

I'm working on a few photography books from close up portraits of different sub-cultures to taking intimate odd provocative nude portraits of those I meet on my travels.

I'm super positive, laid back with positive energy and a productive helpful attitude to life. I love collaborating, helping out, skill swapping, teaching, learning, playing, working and exploring.

PHILOSOPHY

Work hard, be nice to people. Grow. Change. Learn. Respect and love yourself and others, the planet and universe. Think positive. Live fully. Explore the unknown. Surprise yourself. Give more than you take. Leave things better than when you arrived. Listen more than you talk. Think deeply, love openly, be honest and direct. We life but once, we're all made of the same little atoms but the beauty is in how they build together to make us all so unique and different. Yet the same.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a long time burner and am super into participation. Helping out at home or at work. Tidying, cleaning, building, enjoying, laughing, supporting or being completely out the way when needed ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed with friends and new people met online across Berlin and San Francisco, across staying in flats, sleeping on sofas, sharing rooms and beds and have great on going friendships and relationships with them. I'm looking to travel to further out to new locations too. I like to never outstay a welcome and always make my staying a great experience for everyone involved.

Interests

I enjoy exploring the outdoors. Photography, across portraits, fashion, nature. Clubbing, dancing, making art. Working. Building. Collaborating. Cooking (mostly thai, japanese, mexican, american and british food - but open to learning anything new!). I'm big into anime, fantasy and sci-fi. As well as reading and world cinema. I'm into positive living and learning, the magic of science and math. Cartoons, videogames are also a passion.
