ABOUT ME

Love travelling, meeting people with conversation, understanding why people fight wars, experiencing fine foods, street foods and anything different. History etc, not someone who lies on the beach all day.

Favourite quotes:

You're an absolute shower! - Terry-Thomas
To be born an Englishman is to win Gods great lottery of life
"C'est magnifique, mais ce n'est pas la guerre." ("It is magnificent, but it is not war.")
"La Garde meurt, elle ne se rend pas!" (The Guard dies it does not surrender!)
"Nas malo, no my v telnyashka" (We are few in number, but we wear Telnyashkas)
There are bitter weeds in England - Said to Boney when the Grand Army lay at Boulogne

PHILOSOPHY

The protestant work ethic is the only honest way forward.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope I can help a few skint (poor!) students and perhaps meet a few more people to share interests with and discuss the problems of the world..

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have now had visits from an eclectic and interesting bunch of get up and go types, great fun and enriching.

Interests

Battlefields, fast cars, fine food and wine, meeting people, improving my French. Property development, making money, entrepreneurship.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Jam, Concrete Blonde, Blondie, Ska, The Lord of the Rings, all the original Bond books. At the Mountains of Madness and other HP Lovecraft books, in fact I would have loved to live in New York in the 20's and 30's.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A fantastic central London location.
