Overview
About Me
I am a bit of a computer hardware fanatic although most the time ill admit I now just use them to watch TV/Movies while playing the occasional game. I play more Euro style Board-games more often than computer games nowadays however.
Most my time is spent either at work or improving my house, soon I hope to have a dedicated gaming room/gym room built under my house. Something I never thought was likely to happen but after needing some massive structural repair work done to my foundation of my house I find myself with a 30m squared area added to my house.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I recently learnt about Couchsurfing from my brother who has been hosting people at his house and found it interesting to meet people from all over the world.
My current social life has me and my wife hosting board game nights 1-2 times a week with a small group of people or playing old school Lan games, I thought this would be a good way to learn more about the world while maintaining some of the quite we are used to.

Music, Movies, and Books
If I had to pick a Star (something) sci-fi I would have to go with Stargate, although Startrek would be a close second.
as for movies I prefer my Action Flicks with a bit of comedy, so Thor Ragnarok would have to be about the perfect fun move choice.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Climbed Mt doom before I turned 5 years old, returned to the top with a champagne bottle 25 years later to propose to my beautiful wife.
