ABOUT ME
Born in Hemel Hempstead, London UK. Moved to Milton Keynes area, UK. After briefly working and travelling in Europe, North and Central America I was in Mexico from January 2007. I'm currently at my base in Dallas, TX.
I worked in the US plastics industry as an exporter from Mexico and occasionally frequent the informal TEFL market. Now I am developing advertising solutions for DFW companies.
PHILOSOPHY
"Every act of perception is to some degree an act of new creation, and every act of memory is to some degree an act of imagination."
"Life is what happens as you are making other plans" - Beatles
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I've met people from all over the world through couchsurfing buddies. Everyone that I've surfed with or hosted I'm still in touch with. Many are very good friends.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I believe its not about how much ground you cover in your travels, but how well you cover it.
Couchsurfing allows for a better connection with the places you visit and the people you meet.
Most of my couchsurfing experiences have been in North and Central America.
