About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find out --> If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

ABOUT ME

Oh little me!
I love to travel, sleep on benches (when I cant get any good folk to lend me their nice cushy couches :(), dream, climb sky scrapers, poke fun at vegetarians who eat animal crackers, speak in tongues, complicate simple operations and above all battle the sun god! hooyaa!

As our good friend Winnie the Pooh would say: " Perhaps where you are is not on any map."...& that would be me!

PHILOSOPHY

"If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried!!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a loyal army of minions, who, on my command, will multiply and spread the word about the wonders of the holy couch ~(if and when it is offered to me!)
So here is a tip : If you want me to advertise about how wonderful you (the host) are please let me sleep on your couch - I promise to behave. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Been surfing the couches/beds and occasional floors for a bit and half now, and some of the people i've met are real lovely human beings - ever trusting, ever ready and everything else in between.

Interests

Im up for a laugh and generally anything (within reason!) except ofcourse for Indoor Bull Fighting, Finger Jousting, Sheep Tackling, Tuna Tossing, Water Melon Skiing and Midget Bashing!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

5 tips to ' A fools' guide to survival '

1. Since light travels faster than sound, people appear bright until you hear them speak.

2. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them and you have their shoes.

3. If you can't convince them, confuse them.

4. I just broke up with someone and the last thing she said to me was "You'll never find anyone like me again!" I'm thinking, "I should hope not! If I don't want you, why would I want someone like you."

5. There's no half-singing in the shower, you're either a rock star or an opera diva.
