CURRENT MISSION

To CONQUER...haha just joking,.. not to conquer anything. Discovering things that are new to me and throwing myself out of my comfort zone every now and again is the name of the game for me!

ABOUT ME

My best friends would say I enjoy to have fun and laugh as much as possible, I have a sarcastic sense of humour! I find it easy to talk to people no matter what their background or where they are from, i'm not judgemental.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I have participated by meeting new people and sharing things from home with them, however I've only been a member since i've been travelling so I have not had the opprtunity to host anyone as of yet. I look forward to doing this in the future!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Still a Newbie but had some phenomenal experiences with other CSers so far! Everyone has gotta start somewhere right?

Interests

I love meeting new people whether it be a short conversaton with someone in the street or forming long lasting friendships with new people. Travelling has taught me to spend more time DOING and less time thinking/dreaming. I like to use my experience in life where I can to help others when they are in need. I I love boxing and in the past I played rugby for many years, I have a passion for most sports and really grab any opportunity to play a new sport or learn the rules if I am merely spectating. Except cricket hahaha! Film, food and drink, History, Education, CHEESE

Music, Movies, and Books

I love action movies and thrillers, i like most movie genres actually although i wont admit to enjoying chick-flicks(except Notting Hill hahaha)! Recently watched the movie "Drive" with Ryan Gosling, gotta be one of my favourites!

Love a lot of music from times long before I was brought into this world including the Animals, The Beatles, REM, David Bowie. Was a huge Oasis fan when I was younger and was lucky enough to see them at Murrayfield, Edinburgh during their last ever tour in 2008. I'm very open and enjoy a lot of music, will listen anything to understand other peoples favourite genre and opinions!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first time i ever rode a motorcycle on the road...Riding into a small village near Pakse in Laos with a new friend, we stumbled intothe middle of a newyear/fertility festival with many half(or less) clothed locals running around thrusting wooden painted phallus' in the air. It was a very exhilirating yet non-threatening affair as they crowded our bikes whilst chanting and pouring small amounts(we were riding Motorcyclyes after all ;D) of Beerlao, a random milky looking concoction and a shot of the dreaded LAO LAO whisky. After a while my friend beckoned me to leave and he started off, i reached down to turn my bike an... THE KEY WAS GONE :O!!!!! I started to panic a little as the locals laughed and sang but my new friend drove back with the key hanging from his mouth. It's a good thing that i love pranks hahaha

A phenomenal experience, these are the sort of things people travel for.
