CURRENT MISSION

To explore new places, make new friends, makes fat beats and surf the world, one couch at a time!

ABOUT ME

Well just a bit about me :

I adore travel, cultures, meeting new people, making friends around the world.

A very friendly and a fun person, and can liven up most parties :)

I cant host right now, but am available for drinks / coffee / tea & scones.

I'm very hospitable and will show you around my town if I have time and and am always looking to make new friends and explore new places with good people

Drop me a line if your in my 'hood' or maybe I will be in yours and we can meet?

PHILOSOPHY

Keep on keeping on.. . . . .

Don't worry be happy!

If it aint broke don't fix it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well I'm fairly new here, so I will help the cause by being a good citizen and showing you around if your in the Northwest

It's a start right? :-)

I will be a good guy, and will help get good feedback from my new friends & hopefully gain the trust of the CS community.

If other CS members agree to host me for the odd night or two, then that would be amazing & I will show that I'm a decent, honest & nice person that I will even do the washing up!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had the pleasure to stay on many a kind persons couch, whether a friend or at a party & a bit 'tired & emotional' & in need of a place to crash.

Its an amazing concept & I am glad to be part of the community :)

Interests

...In no particular order ....

Music (all styles) music tech & software / computers [Geek!]

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I DJ'd in front of 40,000 people once, in 2001, in Yerevan, Armenia in the town square in the summer.

Wow, it was a life changing experience!

What an amazing trip! we went into the mountains, had day trips, had some nice food, met some crazy Russian dudes & got food poisoning! all in a week! LOL!

This will stay with me forever ! :-)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning things from new & interesting people & cultures

You never stop learning ever throughout your life, and I always try & get the most out of new situations & experiences.

I am a digital musician, and I teach people music skills & help them be creative.

I am a very good cook, and I always try to pass on culinary tips to people, as well as learning from others.

Learning is fun & you never stop, ever.

Life is all about growing and learning & exploring.

If i can pas something on to someone it makes me feel nourished.

If I have learnt a new thing each day, I feel happy :)
