CURRENT MISSION

To Get On It, Like Vomit

ABOUT ME

I'm not very good at self descriptions, but for you i'll try...
I'm very laid back. I know everyone says this, but seriously, I'm as mellow as.
I want to spend my life scouring the globe, seeking out strange worlds and looking for treasure... like a pirate..
I want to experience different cultures, try the local food and quaff some of the local brew... like a pirate.
I'm obsessed with music.

My life is free of worry, it's the only way..
If you see someone walking down the street acting like a general fecktard, it's probably me. If you're feeling brave, join in.

PHILOSOPHY

The world is out there and it won't be discovered sitting in an arm-chair. There's food I've yet taste, beaches I've yet to stroll and people whose faces I've yet to strike horror upon.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Now I am back in the UK I can do something in the way of hosting. I am always up for playing the role of tourist guide.
Whilst surfing I could cook, clean and offer conversation; length, context and wit varies.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CouchSurfing Virgin.
07.03.2011: Cherry was popped.
I have used couch surfing for various road-trips and outings; It's a great social tool.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I stood atop of the Empire State Building and saw New York in every direction. Sweet.
NEW: seeing the sunset at Monkey Mia and the subsequent silent electrical storm - gorgeous.
