About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to do as much and see as much as I can while I am alive and fit and well. Hell - even if I'm not fit and well I'd still try

ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people and the experiences they can bring. I am quite talkative, but that has had it's advantages!!! I have travelled around some places so far within my small lifetime but have such an urge to see more and also to live in a foreign country where I don't speak the language. I also now have some amazing opportunities lined up with my girlfriend and we both have the desire to live in a different culture.

Nature also to me is one of the most beautiful and amazing things that I know I would ever have seen. I also love a nice glass of wine in the evening after a day of hiking and visiting and sitting with friends chatting/laughing and just having a good time.

PHILOSOPHY

My girlfriend is such a wonderful person, my friends are so very important and my family are the closest thing to me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am more than happy to host and would be happy to have anyone, especially who have never visited London before. I have gotten to know some lovely secret spots and fun interesting 'underground' activites. Also I have the opportunities of going back up to Scotland now and then and have the capacity to host there also, which I know the country quite well. Also you'd get to meet my mum and she makes the meanest bacon roll in the mornings mmm...mmmmmm...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never couch surfed before (well at least through this website) although I have stayed on friends couches while visiting some places. I am hoping this will change and I can meet some very interesting people through this that help in creating a greater wider community and helping in showing how wonderful and exciting this world is.

Interests

I love art as I draw and work in theatre. I love to paint but mostly enjoy pencil sketching of buildings and people.

I live by music and could not live without music. I love all sorts such as heavy metal, swing, pop, dance, electro, ska, acoustic, etc.

I have grown also to love reading and movies and enjoy the more deep, meaningful (arty B-movies) sometimes.

I love socialising and talking to many different people, especially foreign people as I feel I can learn so much from them and hoping they can learn something from me. I have travelled to some places around but have suddenly started to boost my travelling desire and possibilities.

I also love sports and enjoy swimming, tennis, squash, rock climbing, hiking, I've tried skiing and I love it and would really want to do snowboarding.

Well that seems quite a bit from me. I'm now kinda stuck what to say - which many of my friends would be surprised at......
