About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To drink tea in the most remote and extreme parts of the world.

ABOUT ME

I'm a very laid back chap. Good sense of humor. I like to think that I'm a friendly and polite guy. I'm very approachable and will talk to anyone. I used study military history at Salford Uni, but don't worry I wont start talking to you about the top speed of every tank and how far certain guns will fire because I don't even know and I don't care to either. I've now graduated and I'm working for the Students' Union as one of the elected representitives. I like to keep fit and active and getting out to do new things.

PHILOSOPHY

If a man wnated to make himself imortal by painting a portrait of wretchedness, then he would be wasting his time knocking on my door.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I am not hosting as I am not in my own place. I'm happy to meet with people to show them around the sights of London. I have a particular penchant for traditional style English pubs and I know a few of them that I could show you.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed a couch of a friend of someone on the website. An enjoyable and easy experience. I've met a few people off the website and made some new friends.

Interests

Sports and the outdoors. Lots of climbing and mountaineering. Cricket aka traditional English rain dance. I enjoy reading, and am trying to get through the classics. Love music. My favorite thing in the world is a nice lovely cup of tea with a bourbon.

Walked the Inca trail and saw Machu Pichu first thing in the morning before there were any other people contaminating the scene.
