About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Document the world through my own eyes.

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in the green grassy pastoral countryside of Southern England, I am in some ways a country boy. However, we all grow our wings and fly in the direction curiosity points us. I have never lived anywhere else but the south coast so I'm familiar with beaches and possess a passable knowledge of my home county.

To describe myself as a person. Well, I'll try and remember significant opinions from family and friends. I've been told I am a good listener. A kind person. A funny person. A receptive person. A creative person. However, I've been told I have tentative qualities which can socially hinder at times. The longer you spend time with me, the better. I do enjoy my own company every once in a while, yet I am socially adaptable.

PHILOSOPHY

Whatever you are, be a good one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to show myself the world and make some friends in the process. The more the merrier!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I traveled across the USA and Couchsurfed pretty much all the way across the country. So far, so good! I've met some great people that I now consider life-long contacts.

Interests

I love films. I started making my own movies when I was ten and as a hobby it's stuck with me since. I like literature, photography, and I'm obsessed with design. Seriously, it's almost unhealthy how much I love design.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Witnessed a 250ft sand tornado in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt.

Watching the sun set over the coast of the Gulf of Mexico when visiting Florida.

Trekking 80km in 4 days across Dartmoor.

Traveled America solo for 3 months. Met some great folks along the way.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to help and promote film-making. It's an art I fell in love with as a young boy and a career I wish to relentlessly pursue. I'd like to learn new tricks about it too. Also to share ideas and collaborate with others across the globe would be a beautiful opportunity.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A chance to see the best natural beauty in England! I live in such a sweet area, perfect for summer bike rides, hikes and visits to the beach. If you love the great outdoors, the sea and tranquility, come on by!
