CURRENT MISSION

Hiking through Wales in the next mission

ABOUT ME

I like travelling, meeting new people and blah blah blah blah blah bullshit....... strange that everyone on CS likes the same two boring bland things. So what 2 things do I really like, I like riding down big hills on my bike with no hands, while eating a sandwich and I like that feeling when you swim out too far from the beach and you think 'shit I'm not going to be able to get back' but you always do, and you only realise how tired you were when you get back to the beach, lie down and the adrenaline wares off.

PHILOSOPHY

If I say "Live fast, Die young" does it make me sound like a pretentious twat?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Its ace, I love it,

Interests

Juggling, Raving, Climbing, Trampolining, Hitch-hiking, Snowboarding, Gymnastics, Music, Canyonning, Bridge swinging, Chess, Cycling, BMXing, skipping (the bin variety), tying Knots.
But everything is more fun with friends, so chatting to friends is probably my favourite activity. (Props to Jack Harris for this interest)

Music, Movies, and Books

Love music, especially electronic music; favorites being Jungle and DnB but also very fond of Techno and Psy Trance. Dancing to very loud electronic music all night and all day is something I enjoy very much. Also really love a good stomp to some Punk, Folk, Gypsy and Ska. Don't really watch many films, love to read when I have the time.

A book which springs to mind 'The Education of Little Tree'

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saw a Shark while swimming

Top tips,

1. Old telephone directories make ideal personal address books. Simply cross out the names and addresses of people you don't know.
2. After swimming in salt water avoid the temptation to let the sun dry you and use a towel, this will avoid the unpleasant layer of salt.
3. An easy way to rinse your hands using minimal water is to take a mouthful of water and spit it out over your hands while rubbing them together.
4. Shoes last twice as long if only worn every other day.
5. Stop bread from drying out by keeping it in a bucket of water.
6. When throwing someone a sharp instrument such as a Stanley knife, scissors, penknife, machete or bread knife, always throw it blade first as they invariably tend to turn whilst in the air.
7. Always tie plastic bags with a loop knot so they can be opened quickly when needed.
8. Avoid the unnecessary weight of carrying binoculars and instead just stand closer to the object you wish to view.
9. Old film canisters make great containers for salt, tea, herbs, etc.
10. Recreate the feeling of time travel by falling asleep on a train or bus and awakening on arrival at your destination. It will feel as if you've arrived in the future!
11. Grass makes a surprisingly good substitute as a scourer to clean dirty dishes, but not as good a substitute as snow.
12. In extreme cold avoid going to the toilet, your full bladder will act as an internal hot water bottle.
13. If your hands are dirty, greasy or sticky, and you can’t wash them, wipe them on your socks, no one will ever know.
14. Save money on shoes by cycling everywhere, you'll be surprised how long your shoes last if you never walk anywhere.
15. Don't throw away old socks. They can be used to protect cucumbers, marrows and aubergines from early frosts.
16. When sleeping on the beach, the only sure way to not have your stuff robbed is to dig a hole, put your stuff in it, then fill it in and sleep on top of it.
17. When walking along dark roads at night, close one eye when a car passes to preserve you night vision.
18. Minor skin grafts can be performed on pigs by covering any cuts and grazes with thin strips of bacon.
