About Me

I love seeing and learning new things, exploring, trying to understand things better which is why I love to travel. I balance that with regular periods of working so far in London but that may change in future.
I like sports and games, mainly football and board or card games, but I do lots of other sports. I'm currently travelling through Asia until June 2017 when I'll return back to London.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting new people especially people who have different views of the world. I like to learn about places I go to and get a feel for what its really like not just turn up pay money, see some things and leave.
I find the hardest part of travelling is finding out the truth when there are agents trying to make money by selling you tours or bus tickets for more than they cost. I'd like to make some friends who could come and visit me sometime and I could show them around London.

Interests

I try to balance my life and do sports as well as socialising with the occasional day of rest. I listen to as lot of music, most of which is mainstream and I go to the occasional concert or festival.
I like to read books but sometimes struggle to concentrate maybe because I have spent to much time with computers or television, but travelling helps me to focus more as I spend time away from computers and TV.
I watch the Game of thrones and football matches but not too much else on TV, films are good and I like to catch up on them especially science fiction types or comedies (romantic or otherwise).

Music, Movies, and Books

Mainstream music like U2, Killers, Kings of Leon, AC/DC, Madonna, Kylie, David Guetta, Ed Sheeran - mostly I like single songs rather than whole albums.
Books like the Alchemist - Paulo Coelho, Ben Eltons works, some classics, some modern fiction, science fiction, Isaac Asimov, Nick Hornby books like High Fidelity and Fever pitch.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been to all 7 continents and done a handstand there.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm new to this so I'm not sure what I'm supposed to put here. I like learning and teaching is one of the best ways to remember things you have learnt so I'm always happy to do this. I probably have information on travelling to different places and the thing I could share which is most useful having been to 50 Countries.
