About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before"

ABOUT ME

i am sure they would say that i am the most amazing, generous, well rounded, most intelligent, funniest, most stylish human being in existence (and not because i am paying them in pizza slices to say this...)

Other that that, i am 30 years old and have come to a point where i feel like i want to see more of the world and meet more lovely people!

I have had one experience of couchsurfing as of yet and it made me want to do it again!

PHILOSOPHY

i am fascinated by people! i believe that one of the greatest things that we can do as a species is to share experiences and stories with each other, so i love to be able to sit down and just talk to people (ideally over a campfire or something equally as dramatic!)

i work very hard in my profession, but i do not believe in the trappings of modern life (mortgages, pensions, insurance etc.) i would rather enjoy my life whilst it lasts than worry about "what if's"

If anyone reading this likes the cut of my jib and wishes to get to know me (or even to host!) then just get in touch :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

so far i have only had one experience of couchsurfing, travelling around iceland for a week or so. But that was such a great experience i will be doing it again as soon as possible!

Interests

i read a lot whenever i get the chance, once i get into a good book i can devour it in days!
Also i enjoy keeping fit, i cycle and go running as often as i can and love to travel (and wish i could do more of it!)

  • books
  • singing
  • dancing
  • baking
  • running
  • reading
  • traveling
  • cycling

Music, Movies, and Books

i have a varied taste in most things, i am a fan of fantasy novels (MASSIVE fan of game of thrones by the way)

musically i will listen to most anything, but i am not a fan of generic chart music/pop. but i think there is no better feeling than having a "waynes world" moment singing bohemian rhapsody in a car :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

recently, visiting Iceland 3 times in three years has blown my mind! every time i have been back something else has made my jaw drop, if it hasnt been the beautiful scenery then it has been the people there.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to dance like a penguin, but it is a rare skill that only a few can master...

Would love to learn Inuit throat singing

Can share my frankly wonderful baking skills!
