CURRENT MISSION

To be the best tanned Beach Bum in South East Asia!

ABOUT ME

I've just finished a 3 year English teaching stint in Taiwan and I'm cruising around South East Asia on my last extended holiday probably until I retire. Sad isn't it.
I'm looking to hit every great beach from Singapore to Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos, not to mention scuba diving every great spot along the way too. I'll be looking to hook up with other people that are like minded.

PHILOSOPHY

As John Galt said "The world will change when you are ready to pronounce this oath:
I swear by my Life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man,
nor ask another man to live for the sake of mine."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As I'm new to CS, I want to dip my feet in the figurative water to see what it's like. Here's hoping for the best.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Petra in Jordan and the whole of Egypt was an absolutely amazing experience. You have to experience Egypt as a back packer. You can get immersed into the culture so much more. Trekking in Nepal in the Annapurna mountains was also one of my most memorable events. Touching snow for the first time in my life in Norway and having a snow fight with my friends ranks up there as well.

Teach, Learn, Share

When buying food from stalls in a third world country, always wait in the longest line. You're almost sure to get good, tasty food and probably less likely to get sick from it. Freshly prepared food will have less chance of having bacteria. If all else fails... make sure you have immodium with you at all times!
