About Me

CURRENT MISSION

World Domination

ABOUT ME

Fisrt off, apologies to all couchsurfers. My email was blocked for so long that I completely forgot about couchsurfers and couldn't respond to any messages. I didn't even know I had requests! SO apologies for anyone who was looking to stay with me and I didn't respond.

Finally got my account back in order under a new email so will be more responsive from now on.

PHILOSOPHY

Fear is temporary - Regret is forever

And one of my personal favourites:

No matter what you do in life, approximately 1 billion Chinese people could care less!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment, I'm travelling South America for 6 months then moving to Shanghai. Unfortunately I will be living on campus and doubt I will be able to offer Couchsurfers a place to stay but maybe could meet up and help show you around.

Interests

All sports, especially soccer, rugby and hurling - one of the greatest sports to watch in the world!

I love adventure and pushing myself to my limits, both physically and mentally - shark diving, bungee jumping, climbing mountains etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Safari in East Africa is probably the best thing I've seen. UP close and personal tracking rhinos on foot was proably the highlight. Though I did come very close to other animals from the 4x4.

Sky-diving is probably the most exciting thing I've ever done, though I was more mentally satisfied that I went thorugh with doing a bungee jump, as it was all up to me to jump off the ledge, instead of being strapped to the instructor while sky-diving.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not really a guru with any specialist subject, more of a hive of useless information. I am a good logical thinker though and find that most problems can be solved this way.
