About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To try to figure out how CouchSurfing exactly works!

ABOUT ME

Well, what should I put here? I'm tall 6feet and 6inches of me (thats 197cm), I have dark features ~ eyes, hair etc. I am a very easy going person, who tries to take life as easily as possible, yet also realise that some things need to be taken seriously and have an objective in life.

I grew up in England, Hertfordshire when I was a boy and then moved to London at the age of 16-17. Thats were I grew up as a young adult. Many different jobs etc. After finishing my education I then saved hard and moved out to Taiwan to get a job as a teacher with my bestfriend. Where I've stayed until now.

I have a girlfriend and we are very happy together.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't really have a philosophy ~ I just dislike negative and narrow minded, bigoted people.

I guess my main philosphy is embrace change, become a part of it and don't fight it because it will happen whether you like it or not. It always does.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am looking to make as many CS friends as possible and to learn it's ways so that I can travel from place to place etc. I also tell as many people as I can about CS so that they may participate as well and so the CS world continues to grow.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

That's an on going project, I'll let you know when it's finished hahaha =)

Teach, Learn, Share

Life can be a tough, hard rollercoaster at times, you just need to roll with the punches, pick yourself up, dust yourself down and keep on walking ~~~

Always re-evaluate who you are, where you are and what your doing. If you don't like it - change it.

Never, ever jugde yourself by other people or let others stand in your way and tell you things can't be done ~

It's never the goal but the journey it took to get there.

Try and remain focused and logical as much as possible ~ let your mind lead your feelings and not the other way round.

As my good friend once told me ~ It can not be a mistake if you didn't learn anything from it.

It is so much easier to destroy things than it is to build them.

Know yourself ~ You are who you are and who you choose to be, no one can tell you who you are and it is one of very few things in life that can't be taken from you.

You can train yourself to do anything.
