About Me

CURRENT MISSION

When I reach the end of my time, I want to be able to honestly say - I gave it my absolute best shot.

ABOUT ME

I am a man who is always doing something. Always on the go. I like lots of my fingers in many pies. I am passionate about the things that are important to me.
Finally I like to think im a truly laid back chap, I don't do stress, I dont like arguments. I like to talk and love to listen.

PHILOSOPHY

To live as we do with conciousness, and the ability to control the destiny of our own lives is a privilege and we should treasure every day and try and experience as much of life, the world and it's people as we can

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This is new and at this stage I'm looking for couches to surf and people to meet on my epic journey around the US and Canada

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Writing after my fourth couch surfing experience, it has been nothing but positive. I have only surfed so far but each host has been great in a different way and have made an experience of the time spent in the hosts city always something memorable.

Interests

I am in love with music, especially music full of drama, excitement, vitriol, and well loudness.
I play drums quite well, and guitar less well. I am in bands and love making music.
I love football (soccer for those in the US) and my sad poor performing team. Baseball is new love. As is cycling around the hills around my current home, Brighton.
I also love food. All of it. I'll try anything. My job has offered me the chance to eat amazing foods from around the world.
