About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet new poeple, discover new places

ABOUT ME

I love to travel. I've done two big back-packing trips in the past two years (Europe in 2010 and South-East Asia in 2011). I don't know what I want to go back to school for so I might as well go as many places as I can and meet as many poeple as I can. Also trying different cities/and regions micro-brews never gets old.
One of the best aspects of travelling is meeting people at hostels so this seems like the next step. I've heard incredible things about this site and the community of surfers.

PHILOSOPHY

As it stands Plan B is to just keep on Given'r.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I love film. I'll watch most movies and I'm a sucker for action flicks: good martial arts movies, the blade movies (I know...don't ask me why). I promise I have taste though - favorite directors are Chistopher Nolan, Michael Mann, David Fincher. Good recent movies watched: Drive, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, X-Men: First Class, Attack the Block (That's an alien bruv, believe it.)

Musical taste is all over the place. Love hip-hop, Metal, Indie Rock, Electronic. Most listened to recent album was David comes to Life by Fucked Up.

Books: I read a lot of Fantasy but I also love historical autobiographies, historical fiction and anything funny.
currently reading a Song of Fire and Ice and A Confederacy of Dunces.

Also if you haven't watched Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad...What the F*** is Wrong with You!? Just joking, but seriously go watch them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Mostly Travelling experiences. Explored the temples of Angkor Wat, was in Barcelona when Spain won the World cup, climbed the Eiffel Tower, Scuba Dived in Thailand and Indonesia, humbled by visits to Auschwitz and the Killing Fields. Was a bicycle Taxi driver during the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.

Teach, Learn, Share

"I want to hang a map of the world in my house, and then I'm gonna put pins into all the locations that I've traveled to. But first I'm gonna have to travel to the top two corners of the map, so it won't fall down."
-Mitch Hedberg
