About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To get up with enough time for breakfast every day of the week not just one

ABOUT ME

I'm relaxed and easy going so don't be surprised should we meet you get a cheeky answer from time to time. I always struggle to get up when my alarm goes off but isn't that what the snooze button is for?

Enjoy a beer and laugh as much as I do a night on the sofa, days of night clubs till 4am seemed to have already been left behind and you are far more likely to find me in a late license pub with a group of friends up at the bar or a quiet local one where you can sit and watch the world go by on a summers day as the sun sets.

For fun I do sword fencing every Tuesday, mango juggling every other Wednesday, professional air guitar Thursdays and tell these lies daily ;) So anyway, I'm a fantastic singer and often headline at places such as "my car", "the shower" and anywhere else I am safe from anyone hearing me

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life by treating those how I would like to be treated - with compassion, respect and consideration.

And in the words of Ghandi: "Be the change you want to see in the world"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Was told about this concept by a friend after they had seen me host several friends from around the world I had met traveling and had still kept in touch with. I'm mainly here to share experiences and socialise with like minded individuals

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

Enjoy sports generally - although generally I play them badly! Enjoy jumping on my bike from time to time and have both a mountain bike and a road bike although admit I am a fair weather cyclist

I "toy" with photography but it's a casual interest rather than hobby and I certainly won't be making a living out of it!

Music, Movies, and Books

Love Rock music generally and I read a broad range of books in terms of subject matter from the typical beach fodder action/thriller/murder mystery to sociology and travel stories... It covers a large range!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Done all the usual traveling you would expect spanning parts of Europe, Asia, Australasia and North America and travel is naturally like everyone on here a love of mine. I find it hard to isolate any one travel experience as being the most amazing because I have met so many amazing people along the way - and long may that continue!
