About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Keep travelling untill i find a lifestyle that changes my direction

ABOUT ME
Too many passwords in life...... Im easy going and nothing really phases me, i love people stories of mad adventures, not into boring , fake or pretentious people, i like finding the underbelly of cities and meeting locals, people watching and taking in a place, i dont care where you live, squats, warehouses, trucks , vans, yurts, communes tents, or wherever..i just like seeing into what makes your world tick!

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the fullest as life is short. Dont be afraid to take risks and chances, dont regret things in life!! Try to live self sufficiently where you can!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

A friend told me about couch surfing and think its a great way to travel and meet people. Get to know a place through the eyes, advice and teachings of a local, instead of through the eyes of your average tourist! I like to meet people and non profit organisations where people put something back into the local community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only used it twice purely because i actually know so many people around the world from travelling for so many years that i normally always have people to catch up with and a place to stay...but i think Couchsurfing is great if people are genuine and so far it has been a good experience........

Interests

I love travel obviously more adventourous the better and preferably overland, or by sea I like to meet down to earth spontaneous, genuine people, going to music gigs in different countries,, graffiti, street art, food is my passion, i love to try anything locally made or homegrown. I love the ocean, beach, surf, sailing, horses, kids, scuba diving,free diving ,yoga,herbal medicines, English festivals and having a laugh with my mates; the European free party scene , raving and club nights. Food is my main travel passion and travel photography and trying the local drink in the local bar.! Life is for living and i'll try anything once!!

Films, British comedy, cult clssics, arthouse films, foreign/french films. Books open to all types of books but mainly true stories,, autobiographies and travel books, books on fish, and recipe books!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ten friends, two dogs shipped two trucks on a boat from Bilboa Spain to Buenos Airies in Sth america and travelled overland for 18months through 6 countries... with a travelling cinema , circus and sound system.. the most amazing experience of my life!!!!!

Meeting the Dalai Lama in Australia when I volunteered to work on a Chefs dinner in a 5 star hotel , an event for Make a wish foundation and The Dalai Lama was staying in the hotel , he came down to the lobby to meet everyone. Amazing!!

Plus so many more experiences.........we will have to meet to swap stories and experiences.

Teach, Learn, Share

Sharing cultural knowledge, having a good conversation about the world, teaching others about things you know, sharing music and food and language skills. Making people laugh and smile::: Be a responsible tourist and put your money where you can in independent business's
