About Me

Unusually enthusiastic and enthusiastically unusual.

Work hard play hard, grab life by the gonads, and don't take life too seriously!

Currently teaching English to adults in a private language school.

Couchsurfing is an awesome example of how life really can be win-win. I've used it to see some amazing places and some equally amazing people. I like open minded and outspoken people. I try to be open minded in return, because you can never judge a book by its cover....even if that cover's a bit rough around the edges ;-)

When I'm not being a huge geek reading, or watching documentaries. I'm usually socialising and seeking a bit of adventure. I love partying, I'm British afterall ;-) but I also appreciate those quieter nights with a bit more meaningful conversation ... I'm versatile.
I've always got an ear open for new music on my travels, as well as creating a bit of music of my own. Play me something awesome.
Other than that I'm always up for seeking new thrills with old fiends, theme parks, karaoke (Tom Jones), bowling, festivals, IRL trolling, crazy golf, and of course epic trips abroad!

PHILOSOPHY
Life is short, so find something you love and give it your all! You'll be dirt in the ground before you know it. There is no right or wrong, only perspectives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I attended the weekly Couchsurfing meet ups in my hometown of Canterbury for a few years before moving to Thailand, and I'm happy to meet up and explore the area here :)

I've also used Couchsurfing to meet people for epic adventures. I've had some amazing times traveling in Spain, Slovakia and Turkey over the past few years, all with friends I have met through Couchsurfing meet ups.
