Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Enjoy life. Die happy, Meet amazing and interesting people along the way. Needless to say; have fun :)
ABOUT ME
bleehh.. I am extremely passionate about football and music. My taste in music is very eclectic - if it's music, chances are I like it.
I just finished my M.Sc. in Consumer Psychology at Bangor Uni and am either about to do a Phd in it (hopefully) or embark upon founding my own social development organisation.. or doing film, or becoming a writer or becoming a professional musician/sound engineer/DJ.. my taste varies.
oh yea, I play guitar and drums.
I love meeting people, esp those who are down to earth and chilled out. I love to socialise and enjoy being around friendly people.
PHILOSOPHY
I have a couple;
Enjoy life and live it to the fullest (cliche I know, but I sincerely believe in this)
My career, as something I will devote my life to, MUST be something I enjoy.
Quality over quantity.
You'll Never Walk Alone. Apart from being Liverpool's motto, it's my own spiritual saying.
This too will pass; nothing in life is permanent - neither joy nor sorrow.
in relation to the above; pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
laugh.
never take things too seriously, including yourself.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I was hosted a couple times in England and I believe in returning good favours (karma and whatnot), so I intend to host when I can. I also enjoy meeting new people so that fits well in with surfing and hosting.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Was hosted in England a few times
Interests
Things I love apart from music and football (off the top of my head): writing, reading (no arithmatic), many forms of dance, linguistics, languages, cultures, people, movies, comedy, laughter, philosophy, theoretical physics (string theory and quantum physics), filmography and film making, art, technology etc etc..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have now completed a literally life-long dream of going to the Auschwitz-Birkenau camps. I have written about my experience there if anyone cares to read about it.
I have also been to my favourite football stadium (Anfield) and seen favourite bands live. For someone from a small caribbean island, these things were big.
