CURRENT MISSION

I'm cycling round east Africa, my mission is to make it to Somlialand and hopefully have some good times along the way

ABOUT ME

After finishing Uni in 2004 I worked as an IT consultant for a few years before realising that I wasn't suited to life in a UK office. I've been in Tanzania since Jan 2008 first working as a physics teacher and now working on a project putting computers in schools. This has finished now and I'm very slowly cycling round East Africa.

PHILOSOPHY

Find what you enjoy and do it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm only just getting started with couch surfing at the moment. I was introduced to it after we had a surfer stay with us because my housemate offered the couch. Unfortunately I don't have a couch to offer at the moment, but when I do it will be surfable.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Still getting started, I first heard about it when a housemate of mine offered our couch to a pleasantly crazy Norweigen. Since then I've met a few great people and surfed in some interesting places.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

I've was stuck in Tanzania without a source of music so I kitted myself out with a walkman and some bongo flava (Tanzanian hip hop)tapes, that constitutes my music collection at the moment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently watched some lions stalk an eland - I was by myself on a push bike at the time. That was pretty amazing.
