CURRENT MISSION

To be better at everything I'm good at, and neglect that which I'm not

ABOUT ME

If we asked your best friends about you, what kinds of things would they say?

you're probably asking the wrong person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to all this, but willing to get involved.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CS virgin.

Interests

I'm intrigued by the subtle vagaries of peoples behaviour (sort of like a non-committal Amelie), and often find myself perched in the recesses of a city, looking from the outside in....

I'm also into normal stuff too - like music, playing music, design, art.

An adrenaline junkie from a young age. However, I'm addicted to very small amounts of adrenaline. That's why I really like fishing. In fact, I've accidentally ended up doing a PhD in marine biology because of it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I won the Pontins holiday camp ping-pong tournament in 1998, and shortly after retired from ping-pong, and took up table-tennis.

Is that the sort of thing you want?
