CURRENT MISSION

Attempting Europe

ABOUT ME

I'd like to think that I'm a relatively average guy; fun-loving, easy-going and a wannabe Writer. A Primary School Teacher once called me 'laidback to the point of being horizontal' I think that sums it up quite nicely.

I thoroughly enjoy going out and meeting people is one of the greatest pleasures of life. I'm initially quite quiet, always conscientious and never forget my deep-ingrained English manners.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently a Surfer, and a newbie at that. I've been on some meet-ups but that's it for now - thought I'd like to be more involved in the future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'd say surfing a campbed in a wooden shack in the woodland centre of a protest camp in Scotland has to be one of the best. One of the coldest, but also one of the best.
