CURRENT MISSION

The world is a book, and those who don't travel only read a page.

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty easy going guy. I play the bass guitar (and learning the Irish pennywhistle), I write comic books in my spare time to make extra cash and I'm also working on a few novels and short stories. I am learning to speak French and have a very keen interest in language as a whole. I love taking pictures of every where I go. I love punk/metal/rock music and have played in many bands. I can talk bollocks for England too.

PHILOSOPHY

Ride the spiral to the end, it may just go where no ones been.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Music, Movies, and Books

There are so many. Apocalypse Now, The Shawshank Redemption, Martyrs, Anything by Gasper Noe, Even the Rain (También la lluvia), Oldboy, Scarface, The Outlaw Josie Wales, Trainspotting, and many more.

Music wise, its all about The Sex Pistols, Rage Against The Machine, Dead Kennedy's, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, The Doors and many others.

I also listen to a lot of Irish folk music.

I don't read so much fiction anymore, now I read a lot of Hawking, Hitchens, A.C Grayling, Chomsky, Finklestein and many other authors in an attempt to gain more knowledge and thus kid myself into thinking that I am therefore more intelligent as a person. I also read and study a lot of language learning books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've walked the Great Wall of China.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach people to play the bass guitar or speak a standard level of French. I'm willing to learn pretty much anything.
