About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to find myself. Or some nice places to pass the time.

ABOUT ME

Quiet, little bit shy, enjoy meeting friends, seeing new places. If you don't get any of my jokes, don't worry - neither do most people.

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing passes the time like laughter.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I found out about Couchsurfing from a friend, and it looks like a cool idea. I just joined, looking forward to participating.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a few people in Bulgaria, and met some really nice, fun and helpful people through hosting and through CS groups. It's a great way to make friends.

Interests

Football, cricket, rugby, hiking, reading, music, current affairs, geography, quizzes (I'm a little competitive...), beer, the great outdoors, meeting friends new and old, other places, other cultures

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: not big into special effects. Genre is not so important, just get rid of the cliches. I like a good story well told. Nothing worse than guessing how a movie will finish 15 minutes in.
Music: rock, indie, alternative. Depends entirely on my mood.
Books: read a lot about history, economics and some politics. Also interested in language. I enjoy novels from time to time. Favourite writers include Tolstoy and John Banville. Like reading about cricket too, and wish there were more decent books about football.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

North korea. The whole lot of it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an English teacher, and a master at sudoku. Also make a pretty good Irish coffee.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Brunei Darussalam, China, Japan, Macedonia, Malaysia, North Korea, Philippines, Turkey, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In

Bulgaria, Ireland, Malaysia, South Korea
