CURRENT MISSION

Back in Sussex for the Summer... come and stay!

ABOUT ME

I'm an outdoorsy type and I particularly enjoy wild swimming in rivers, hot pools lakes and the sea. I see myself as quite adventurous and love spontanious nights out, but also very happy to chill in good company. I appreciate good food and a cold Waikato Draught, and if you let me loose in the kitchen you won't regret it as I fancy my hand at baking (I make a mean pie).

PHILOSOPHY

Work to live, don't live to work. Many hands make light work.
And finally: "Can't be worried about that shit man, life goes on."- The Dude, The Big Lebowski (favorite movie)

Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to meet as people as possible! Come and stay, let me show you the beautiful Weald where I am born and bred! I am also on HelpX and find it a really good way to see the country and emerse myself in the culture as well as getting to know like-minded people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to couch surfing but have done HelpXing which is basically the same thing. Working on a horse stud, hay bailing, tack cleaning, horse handling as well as making myself useful around the house cleaning and helping with cooking.

Zainteresowania

Cycling (leisure not hardcore fitness!), baking, horse riding, wild swimming. I also love reading and I'm studying literature in September so trying to rattle through some classics before then!
I like seeing live bands but don't do it enough to tell you the truth, huddling round a campfire with a radio, some beers, a few friends and pork sausages is always sweet too.

Jedna niesamowita rzecz, którą zrobiłem(-am)

Living in rugged bush of Great Barrier for 2 months was pretty cool- collecting my own mussels for dinner and tramping tracks to waterfalls like Awena, goodtimes!
