CURRENT MISSION

to finally learn how to play the banjo

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy going, overly relaxed fellow. I enjoy the challanges that life throws my way and would consider myself to be a fairly optimistic person. I am a collector of strange musical instruments and have taken to making my own weird noise machines. I like doing things.

PHILOSOPHY

Smile and people will smile back. It takes more of an effort to be angry at something that it does to laugh about it. We only get the one shot at life so make the most of it and enjoy it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well after having taken a three year break from couch surfing I thought I'd jump back on the band wagon. Currently living in central Edinburgh (a damn fine place if I don't say so myself) with a couch in our tiny box room for people to stay on. Looking to try and build up some contacts over state-side for a trip I have lined up in the pipeworks.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't had much experience with the ol' surfing lark, although I have met a few people staying in Belfast through surfing in friends' places. Everyone who I've talked about surfing with seems to have had a great time, Everyone seems to be on the same wave-length which I find awesome, and I can't to try it for myself!!

Interests

I like to do practical things with my hands. I'm a sculpture student so I spend a lot of my time building various contraptions and instruments and generally just hammering things together. I like to think I can play a wide range of musical instruments (badly). Then theres the dream of mastering the diabolo and contact juggling, that one may take some time yet.

Music, Movies, and Books

Any movie with zombies is a winner by me! have you got your zombie escpae route figured out?! Other than that anything that tickles my sides or chills my bones is good in my books.

I'd say I like an ecletic mix of just about everything and I'm always ready to give something new a go.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Accidentally finding myself in the middle of a Black Jack game in Kuala Lumpar where I apparently owed someone $30,000... If we meet I'll tell you about it over a beer or three
