About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To share and share alike
ABOUT ME
I grew up in a small, cold town in Redcar. When I was 19 I joined the Royal Navy and became a commissioned Officer. This job inspired me to travel around the world. I have met many fantastic people when I least expected to. Iw ould like to continue to explore the world and meet more interesting people. Seeing, hearing, tasting, touching new things helps me to better understand myself.
PHILOSOPHY
A German language teacher once told me: 'Travel is the best education anyone can receive'.
'Innocent until found guilty'.
'Do unto others as you would have done unto yourself'.
'I am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher for living well'.
'Remember upon the conduct of each depends the fate of all'
'No one can go against his nature'

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Room for growth.
Interests
I like warmer places more than cold and I like cities with historical value; with parks, monuments, museums, churches. I like to party a bit too. I like dancing and want to learn salsa. I like all different kinds of foods and love trying new things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Too many to list. Best shared over a pint of beer in a bar in the middle of nowhere.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can tell you how to control fighter jets or drive a warship. I can tell you about some of my experiences, in Antartica, Iraq, Tristan Da Cunha. I can tell you why it is so good and so bad to be British, Greek and Irish.
