About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Having as much fun and doing as much travel as possible without failing my exams

ABOUT ME

I really hate doing these things, but i'm not an introverted person so a quick chat would do a lot better than this text box in telling you about myself.

PHILOSOPHY

"when my friends are happy, I'm happy", a friend told me this once and i like it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Though i don't currently have a couch to offer, I'm here to meet as many people in as many places as possible, take advantage of their generosity, and wait until I can do the same for other couch surfers.

Interests

Good food, and good beer. I obviously also enjoy traveling, but what I enjoy most about new places is trying a new dish. music, film, sport, art, books; all good stuff, but none can be fully enjoyed on an empty stomach.

Films-A Scanner Darkly, The Fountain, Fear and Loathing, Spirited Away, Bill and Ted's, Goodfellas, Clerks.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once had to stop a snowmobile and let it sink into a couple meters of powder because my eyelashes had frozen together and I couldn't open my eyes. I was over a river at a time, which made it very stupid.
