CURRENT MISSION

To meet awesome people,

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, and take any opportunity available to fly or sail-off somewhere.

I've lived and worked abroad for the past 10 years, and have spent months on end in 5-star hotels; although I always prefer to stay in Backpacker hostels because the people I meet are generally much more awesome.

I love my Mountain Bikes (currently have a Santa Cruz Chameleon) and I try to snowboard at least once per year.

I'm very chilled and social. I spent a year as an elected Student Union Sabbatical Officer, and learned how to make conversation with totally random people in any situation.

I work in Financial Services.. although I often dream about being a snowboard instructor or Mountain Patroller on Whistler Mountain.

PHILOSOPHY

Remember to live each day to the full, do what you love whenever you want, do it as much as you can, because one day you might not be able to.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have a nice apartment in Amsterdam, which overlooks the Maratime Museum and historic shipping area. I have spare room with double bed.

I've only been in this city for a few months, so would love to have people come by and visit!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted a few times. Had great fun.

Random facts: If you're being attacked by a Shark, the best thing to do it to hold it in a tight grip, and turn it upside-down. It will loose its bearings and swim away!

I'm pretty good at spinning firestaff. I learned in Thailand and often used to practice at 3am in the morning on Blackheath Common next to Shooters Hill Road in London.
