About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"It's poetry carved in flesh, this beautiful hell of ours."

ABOUT ME

I think easy going but slightly pretentious is probably the dichotomy that best describes me. I'm equally comfortable downing Guinness in a dingy rock/metal pub as I am sat at home with bucket loads of tea and a good book.

Music is my obsession. Whether listening , playing or talking about it there's always something musical going on in my life.

I'm also a big film lover, particularly European cinema and try to make sure I discover new films on a fairly regular basis.

My job is pretty dull so I like to ease the boredom with regular visits to the the pub with friends. I'm with beer the way some people are with wine...take from that what you will.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted fairly regularly a few years ago but haven't been all that active recently. Hosting midweek is tricky due to work commitments but potentially available at weekends.

SURF REQUESTS - I will only accept requests from people who have taken the time to read my profile. As much as I understand that plenty of people are just looking for a bed for the night whilst travelling I like to think of CS as a way of meeting new people and learning about other ways of life and hope that you will to.
