About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Remember those who are in prison as if you were in prison with them. Remember those who are suffering as if you were suffering with them."

ABOUT ME

"Not a typical English tourist!"

PHILOSOPHY

Well as you may of guessed from my 'current mission', I read the bible...

Personally, I think God plays a huge role in my life. And I like nothing more than to talk about all the things he's done.

I once heard someone say that the meaning of life is "to know God and make him known". Now as cheesy (and controversial) as that may sound I tend to stick pretty close to it.

But now I sound like a real "Bible-Thumper" (which I'm not)! So I'm gonna stop writing, but I think you get the picture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately I can't see myself being able to host anyone in the near future, but I do like to travel. So I guess, kinda selfishly, my participation is mainly the 'surfing' side of things. But I do try and tell everyone and anyone I meet about CS.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed with the most random and wonderful people I've ever met. I've had discussions/debates on subjects I didn't even know existed. Through Couch Surfing I've managed to broaden my opinion of what a truly 'good' person is.

Interests

Karate, surfing, snowboarding, going to the gym, gymnastics, most other sports that don't involve balls, bats or racquet's. Traveling, experiencing new cultures/people. Beaches, mountains, small pretty villages, big busy cities (to an extent). That's enough I suppose.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Slept in the middle of a (barely used) road/track in Zambia with the hope that someone will stop and give me a lift! Don't think that qualifies as amazing, stupid maybe. But it's the first thing that comes to mind.

Teach, Learn, Share

Uuumm... Let me get back to you on that on.
