About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To sucefully make use of the word AWESOME in every sentence I make. Or not. Its hard to fill this...Maybe I'll think of something. Ah well.... Tommorow!

ABOUT ME

Tall, brownhaired, can also lift heavy things.

PHILOSOPHY

Let me be free!
Also you and I both don't want to sit here for a day and a half so I won't expand on the various philosophies running through my head.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well I enjoyed a long time of awesome surfing with awesome people in awesome places.

Now I'm in Edinburgh. And it's raining....

But I owe a debt of honour to all those people who didn't freak out when I raided their freezer and ate their ice.

My house is open to all (preferably eccentrics, weirdo's and/or interestingly mad). I'll see you..here! :)

UPDATE: So I have a permanent residence now. It's still under slight renovation but it's looking good.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosting a few couches right nowwwwww. Also have met a bazillion other members and have attended around 6 or 7 events/meetings.

Also occasionally use it to find nearby Greeks and type `PATRIIIIDDDDDAAAAA!!!` to them. ;D

Interests

Books, walking, books about walking and walking to get books.

Also swimming! (The colder the better!)
And climbing! (Buildings and mountains but with no equipment)

About a year ago I finally got over my fear of bicycles and now I'm the proud owner of one.
Cycling is awesome.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies - Things with Dragons,
things that go BOOM
but mostly things that make me go hmmmm. (That kinda rhymes!!)

Music - 70's, irish, Greek, classical music, generally bits and pieces out of every genre. I usually hear one song and become obsessed with it for a month or so until I hear another one and I forget all about.

Books- Just keep em coming! Anything born of ink and paper that can be brought to life in my mind unless it's badly written, stupid or both.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I walked over a mountain and just when I was about to give up I found the Very Dark Cave and we brought light to it. Glorious moment.

One of the thousand recruits in the Army I never changed my point of view and even ended up bringing peace to the Greek Army (Well, with a bit of hippy help :) )

But the most brave, astonishing, magnificent even thing I have done (And it never ceases to astonish me)
is that I had the GUTS to start travelling... The second decision I have made in my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmmmm, I can carpenteer a bit, basic electology, basic plumbing, basic building and so on. I know a little of a lot of things, a Jack Of All Trades, a real Renaissance man but truthfully just a lazy bugger. o.O

Apart from the technical side of things I can show you the power of boredom. Hoohooo doesn´t THAT sound intriguing!

Countries I’ve Lived In
