Yo, I'm Elliott.
Happy little chappie with a taste for adventure and doing new things. Embrace the silliness of life and take pleasure in being a bit weird. Living and working in Chiang Mai for the time being, and also getting a bit of backpacking done while I'm at it.

I work in television for a living and love making videos so I'm out here working with a charity to do my bit and try and make the world a better place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For the adventure!
Making friends with someone with a bit of experience in a new place can be the difference between seeing a place and experiencing it. And picking people up a long the way and sharing stories is what it's all about.

Interests

Bit of an outdoorsy type, I love camping and a bit of bushcraft. And motorbikes, I'm a huge petrolhead and love things that go fast and make loud noises and smell of petrol, if you share even a vaguely similar interest then we will be very happy.

I love music too and festivals go hand in hand with camping, as well the experience of making new friends, hanging out, going with the flow and making the most of what there is to offer.

Music, Movies, and Books

Total film nut. Blues Brothers is right up there, as well as pretty much any Tarantino, anything with a good characters or cinematography. I love analysing films and discussing the technicalities and the structure of the film.

Reading Some J.g. Ballard at the moment but I love Game Of Thrones, Tolkien and autobiographies

In terms of music though. Rock and F'ing Roll.
Raised on a strict diet of Hendrix, Sabbath, Rush, Zeppelin, Floyd, Motorhead, Maiden and the like. But I love me some blues, Ska and psychedelic rock as well as the heavier side of things, punk and recently got into Psytrance.
Top 5 bands? fo sho, changes all the time though.
1. Rush
2. Maiden
3. Gogol Bordello
4. Streetlight Manifesto
5. John Butler Trio

Could go on and on and on..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked in TV, I've been involved with some pretty big productions around England and seen some cool shit.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll give anything a go and totally open to new experiences, spontaneity and new adventures. Love trading stories, and happy to pass on any knowledge I can.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm really good at making sandwiches.

I'll make an effort to help in any way I can, offer good conversations, high five bad jokes, tidy up after myself, be good to the planet, share anything I have, be open-minded about everything, entertain, dick about , be a mate and share an adventure.
