About Me

CURRENT MISSION

On my way to Oz overland from UK, being a one man travelling band - open to participants!!!

ABOUT ME

Having spent 9 months in India, I never really settled on the ground so to speak. Life seams too short, and its been so easy to say, yeah - i want to do this / that, i'll do it tomorrow. So having felt inspired by a bloke who walked the great wall on China, and a few other people, I uped sticks and left England 5 months ago.
I'm easy going, vegetarian (I like to be - although a good bit of local meat - if I haven't tried it before wouldn't occassionally go a miss) a non smoker, and i don't drink alcohol.

PHILOSOPHY

It might be improbable, but its not impossible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I get somewhere permanent I will be able to offer a couch. Until then I am limited to surfing others couches.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have only taken from couchsurfing so far, for this I am sorry! and I look forward to hosting people when I'm settled! stayed and met some wonderful people in Berlin, Brussels, Tallin and St Petersburgh. Hopefully I will stay in contact with some of these people and become better acquainted in the future!

Interests

Walking, sports - football, tennis, swimming. Work - I like my work very much and I like being busy. Radio drama and music technology. Concerts of all sizes. Recently, after being in India I have a passion for cinema's and concert halls (mainly... the cinema itself as opposed to the film). Backgammon, ariel circus skills, mainly corde-ellise, and silks. busking.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been in India for 9 months. Spent one month in a hippy/reforestry project in south India. Everyone had such an energy at this place it was amazing!
Sometimes though you might try to spend a long time to make a story, but within that story, a split second could tell a story. like an old woman, out of compassion feeding rats by the side of the road.
Hitchhiked though South China and performed guitar / circus at parties on route.

Teach, Learn, Share

I try to learn from as many people as possible, albeit sometimes this is only in retrospect.
