About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To take in the world , just me and my backpack!

ABOUT ME

Its not all about me! But if ya really wanna know, I am a cheeky guy with an easy going attitude. Broad minded and passionate about meeting others particularly of different backgrounds and ethnicities. I love anything to do with keep fit, travel (of course) and sports. I am single and take my life in its stride, what happens happens, it's all meant to be. Follow your heart and loose the ego. Fun, respectful and positive about life.

PHILOSOPHY

Respect and treat others how you want to be treated. Life is about learning and educating, experiencing and sharing. With the right attitude, open your heart and mind and things will happen. Love and laugh. Enjoy the dream.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met people along the way who have been kind and hospitable to let me stay in their homes. This is not just from this site but also from people who I have met along the way. The concept is great and even though I don't use it that often, every time I have it has been a great experience.

Interests

Plenty of things, ask me and we'll be chatting for ages. I have experienced a lot and there's still more to try. My main interests are staying fit and healthy but same time enjoying a quiet beer once in a while with new accomplices. I enjoy mountain biking, climbing and trekking, surfing, scuba diving, yoga,spirituality and much much more

Music, Movies, and Books

I just love the British favourite Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. I am not a big movie fan, its somethng for a rainy day or a lazy day and there's not many lazy days in my life right now. I like reading factual books, educational and some spiritual style books. I like true travel stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been lucky enough to travel, there's many things you see, learn and understand. Its my passion right now. Oh I have to now say....Since I've been to Tonga, swam with humpback Whales. Truely unforgettable. Wait wait wait lét me tell you about a 3 day sleeper bus trip to Tibet....

Teach, Learn, Share

My experiences in travel I would love to share and my life from all that I have learnt. There's no point hiding, share with others and you'll find they'll share with you
