About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live and learn

ABOUT ME

"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing." A very wise man (much wiser than I) said this a long time ago (a long time before me).

I know quite a lot of interesting rubbish (eg. porcupines float in water), uninteresting rubbish (eg. dalmations are born without spots), interesting usefuls (eg. chewing gum while chopping onions stops you from crying (disclaimer: I've not tried this)) and uninteresting usefuls (eg. it is possible to drink too much water)... In short I think I need to know more. Hence my desire to see a world outside of what I know... Where better than Africa to educate a stupid white man about what love, life and the pursuit of happiness is really about...

PHILOSOPHY

"If it itches, eventually you have to scratch it." No not a bite, nor sting nor anything downstairs. I mean something in the back of your mind. Eventually I'm following my own advice...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will soon be setting out on my own exploration, destination Africa!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to this!!

Interests

Generally anything that involves me doing/learning something I haven't already done/don't already know.

Also, games (any kinda game really... I like to keep an active mind - sure fire way of keeping dimentia at bay (I'm only 29 though, so long way off for me hopefully)), music, sport and spending time with people I like, love and admire.

  • drinking
  • music
  • sports

Music, Movies, and Books

The food of love it may be, the food of my soul definately... I loooooooooooove music. Play me reggae, jazz, blues, folk, latin, hiphop, afrobeat, just about anything and I'm a happy boy.

Favourite movies... Usual Suspects, LA Confidential, Shawshank Redemption

Books... Kite Runner

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Driven across Canada (and back again)

Inherited a famous person's old mobile phone number (many funny moments and stories from that!!)
