About Me

I'm a down to Earth, fun loving, spontaneous and honest guy. I have the travel bug and I love learning about new people's cultures, languages and am happy to share about mine.
I am very easy going and open to new exciting experiences. I love to cook and share a bottle or two of beer.
I laugh all the time, and would love to share a laugh with you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet local people where I travel. It is the best way to get to know the city/town/island/country.
It is always a nice way to build friendships and travel links, maybe encourage someone to come visit my country.

Interests

I love sports - football, scuba diving, cricket, rugby, you name it. I stay active, love trekking and swimming too. I go to the gym and box regularly too!
I am a film enthusiast, love to read, and cook.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all music but I'm a huge fan of the Rolling Stone, Led Zeppelin and The Doors. I love house music and reggae music when it's time to relax!
Apocalypse Now, The Good Bad and The Ugly, anything by Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino - my favourite films.
Shantaram, The Godfather, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Hound of the Baskervilles some of my favourite books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was priviledged enough to visit a turtle sanctuary in Java, Indonesia and helped release some 2 week turtles into the ocean. The same trip, I was lucky enough to swim with a leatherback turtle! Hence my love for scuba diving.

Teach, Learn, Share
