CURRENT MISSION

To learn about life through new people and experiences

ABOUT ME

I am from Great Britain and, as an English gent, am well-spoken, well-mannered with a predilection to saying 'gosh' and 'golly' a lot. I can make you the perfect cup of tea.

Actually, I'm none of these things. (I am English though).

In all seriousness I'm a pretty laid-back guy, traveling the big bad (rad) world. One thing I like above all else is humour and laughter. Making people laugh and being made to laugh is the greatest thing.

I'm not interested in being a tourist so I've made a couch-surfing profile so that I can meet people who have a similar philosophy and want to have a rockingawesome time.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm out there to experience things I haven't experienced before.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couchsurfed across the USA a few years ago and had an amazing time with amazing people. Now, I'm about to start being a web developer (coding and shit), so I'm looking to have some crazy awesome experiences around the world in the month before I start. Then, after that I shall be ensconced in the loving teat of London full time and my couch will be open to all.

Interests

Music (CAPTAIN BEEFHEART), piano, comedy, reading, being outdoors, old skool videogames, BOULDERING (love it)

I studied music for 3 years at university and play the piano (though I am so out of practice it's unreal), if you want recommendations for some great music just send me a message!
