ABOUT ME

Seeing our amazing natural world is all well and good, but it's the shared experiences with people that forge the strongest memories. I joined this site because I want to interact with travelers: it's that simple.

I prefer bars to clubs and small groups to mobs. I'm serious about good food. Any kind of art that makes me think or consider on a deeper level is inspiring to me.
Dreaming, dancing, sharing, hiking. Feeling.

I like to think I'm kind, unselfish etc. but the proof is in the pudding :)

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live or something...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've done everything from being hosted, to organising meetups and events, to hosting people if I can.

Interests

music (listening, playing or mixing), food, football and some other sports, pumping iron like a badass, science, amusing myself on the internet, dancing (I haven't found my dance niche yet, suggestions welcome), driving places, swimming / SUP surfing, pretending I'm a drummer by hitting things in the general vicinity...
and long hot showers (but not in your house amirite?)

Music, Movies, and Books

Don't get me started on music because I won't stop. There's a song for every mood. House/electro, funk/disco, rock, hip hop, chillout, jazz/blues, drum & bass, 60's stuff... not the unimaginative sort of music that rhymes "crazy" with "baby" and tells us to "put our hands in the air". Love to share :)

Movies: The Fountain, American Beauty, Inception, Moon, 127 Hours, The Wrestler...
