About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Broaden my horizons, meet new people and learn from the world!

ABOUT ME

Just an average thoughtful country guy that likes to keep fit and live life. I'm a balanced soul with that loves the outdoors and working out, but also with a nerdy steak with a liking of books and gadgets. Laid back and relaxed, but always keen to try something new.

I've seen a bit of the world, but i feel to really have the full experience you meet to meet and interact with the locals. I would love to both have this experience and provide it to others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think couchsurfing provides a way to meet and learn from different types of people. I am unfortunately a bit tied down due to the nature of my work and wont be doing any surfing soon, but I would love to host! :-)

I have never surfed myself, but a good friend of mine has surfed and hosted a number of times and recommended it.

Interests

A love of reading, stories and music! I do solo singing on the side and a dash of (questionable) guitar skills. I try to keep fit by frequenting the gym and I love the outdoors and hiking.

Music, Movies, and Books

Any genre of music! I jump from classical to metal, jazz to pop.

I love fantasy and sci-fi books, or anything with a good story. Patrick Rothfuss, Brent Weeks, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sang in the world's best amateur choir and represented my country internationally. :-)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can make food with the best of them and love trying out new recipes.
I am a fan of random and 'useless' interesting information and facts. Bring a bag full and we can swop some!
Doing my post grad i have acquired a wealth of knowledge - a knowledge of tools and building things. I love working with my hands and making something!
