About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To do and see as much as I can, before I can't.

ABOUT ME

I'm a very easy going, open minded and curious person, who doesn't fuss and prefers things to be simple.

I'm certainly not content to sit back and let life drift on by. I intend to use every moment to it's fullest by visiting as many places and meeting as many people as I can!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm just living the dream. There is no more liberating feeling than being able to travel the world and live with just the contents of your backback.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

No experiences through this site as yet, although I have met and surfed on the couches of many people from the 'Hospitality Club' site. You can see my profile and comments here: http://secure.hospitalityclub.org/hc/travel.php?cid=anospi

Interests

Travelling is obviously my passion! I love everything about it, the people, the culture, the sites, the sounds, the smells and most of the tastes! I just can't get enough of it. I also love writing in my online travel journal (the link is above), Hiking/trekking take up a lot of my time, and the outdoors is somewhere I've always felt comfortable., I'm also into yoga, running, cycling, snowboarding and swimming.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies. Anything intelligent. Not really into comedies or Hollywood trash.

Music is a huge part of my life, electronic mostly (breaks, drum n bass, tech funk, electro, turntablism, dub and hip hop) but I'm also into a lot of alternative, rock, folk, roots and world music.

Books. Where to start? I guess my favourite author is Paul Auster. I just love the way he deals with identity. The New York Trilogy is one of my favourite novels. And Anne Michaels Fugitive Pieces. Just brilliant. Fiction, Non fiction, I'll read just about anything. Although I'm no sci-fi fan. Just can't get into it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I survived typhoid.

Teach, Learn, Share

I lived in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, for a year, Poland for two years, and I'm currently living in South Korea. I'm a language teacher, I do a little volunteer work when I can and I have travelled extensively within these country. If you want to know about Cambodia, Poland or South Korea, ask me!
