About Me

CURRENT MISSION

World domination!!! However failing that, I just want to see as much of the world as possible. I'm a pretty easy going guy, I recently realised that there is far more to life than working, so quit my job and decided to see the world. I love the excitement of never knowing who you'll meet and where you'll end up that backpacking brings. So I try to keep my travels as spontaneous as I can, never planning to far ahead.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couch surfing was first recommended to me by a friend who used the site to travel and also host guests. Never one to feel left out I thought I'd give it a go and join the cool kids, plus i have a huge affinity of couches!

Interests

Martial arts, running, weightlifting, sightseeing, meeting new and old friends, travelling......and of course couches!

Music, Movies, and Books

Whale music, Free Willy and Moby dick....I likes whales! I don't have a particular taste, on my iPod at the minute I have stuff from artists like System Of A Down, 2pac, Skindred, Jamie T, The Black Keys, The Goo Goo Dolls and The Asteroids Galaxy Tour etc but I've been known to bop my head to 1 Direction and sing along to The Spice Girls. The most recent books I read were The White Tiger, Of Mice and Men and The Art of Happiness, all of which I'd recommend.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was once chased by a badger through a field and by a monkey through a hotel........not impressive enough, I once got 52 clothes pegs on my face!

Teach, Learn, Share

So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun - Alexander Supertramp
