About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be awesome.... Easy

ABOUT ME

Hello hello,

First of all Couchsurfers who want to stay at my place:

Please read my profile! You need at least two of the following things:

Have a completed profile. - THIS IS ESSENTIAL! If you've written nothing or very little in your description I will decline your request.

Just to add a little more to this point. Oh for those users who request to stay at mine and make it so blatant that you just want a couch, or you've copied and pasted your request. Or don't even have a profile picture. I am gonna do worse than just decline your ass, I am gonna reply a bad message to you. God I'm sick of these fucking nimrods, just clueless on the whole CouchSurfing ethos.

Read my profile before requesting to stay at my place. You need to include a specific phrase.

Have references - Some users will be new so this is not compulsory, but will really help your chances in staying with me.

As most peeps desire that are on this luvly website, I wanna embrace the world and experience and embrace new things, while constantly evolving (probs until the zimmerframe needs to come out!), or have funny/enlightening chats with.. tea.. coffee.. mocha.. water.....soda....mate(need sugar for that one).

Different people describe me in different ways.

The best call would be to find out for yourself :D

PHILOSOPHY

Try your best to live life without any regrets. It's better to go for it than bail on it. Oh yeah and FUCK PRIDE!

Keep moving forward.

Expect everything, anything will feel like nothing. Expect nothing, anything will feel like everything.

We are all on this planet once, so make the most of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Yeah I participated by being rather hospitable while I was living in Cardiff, and also boogie and mingle with all the other luvly CS peeps in Cardiff as well. And now I've hosted quite a few people in Manchester as well. I started to surf with some amazing hosts in South America, and now would like to return the favour.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Almost all my experiences have been a joy. In South America my last big trip, every experience was really cool.

I've hosted way too many people now. There's a lot of like blur-adge that goes on. Yeah I'm gonna be way more fussy who I host now.

Interests

My main interests revolve around self-improvement. It's been like that for like the last year. I'm on a proper mission to develop myself to a sublime version of me. Not the greatest.... fuck that, that's not possible.

Other interests are Travelling (obviously duh! like standard on this website) Snowboarding, Electronic music (especially liquid drum and bass, hmmm liquid DnB uuuuurggghhh), Socialising (also may I add being a right bellend and making a scene, but not quite getting arrested and banned from places), Partying, Running (yeah yeah okay, and also pumping iron in the gym while listening to that cheesy "push me, until I get my satisfaction" tune and grunting) and Reading.

Music, Movies, and Books

Look look! For music it's all about the Breakbeat, with a bit of Dub here and a bit of Dubstep there. Alright everything else is secondary. House, Trance and Techno is more than fine.

. But Like to listen to any type of music, if it has a good beat, stick it on maestrooo!!

Movies that are real thrillers or comedy films are my favourite types of films.
1984 by George Orwell was well up there, only got to read all the way through after the 3rd attempt thanks to thieving fools and silly forgetful ones too (yeah the latter is about yours truly).

To kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is one of my all time favourites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Giving up binge drinking and having to deal with "What?! But how on earth can you enjoy yourself without alcohol, what is wrong with you". Yeah so I drink non-alcoholic beer from time to time, which has usually between 0.05% - 0.5%. But no nothing else other than that.

My more socially acceptable answer is going to be going to South America for 6 and a half months in total. Absolutely amazing. Just go really!! Which in all fairness is an amazing continent. It's like a more rustic down to earth version of Europe.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach.... Bollocks
Learn...... Things that might but probably won't be useful.
Share stories and experiences.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Urmmm... My odor! You know that smell..... That smelly smell that kinda smells..... smelly.
