CURRENT MISSION

When it all boils down to it, I want to explore this wonderful planet and meet new and exciting people along the way. The single most important thing in life for me is to be happy!

ABOUT ME

I am a laid back and friendly guy who lives for good times with good friends. I have done a lot of travel and my heart yearns for more adventures and experiences. I try and live my life to its full extent. I am open minded and love to learn more and more about myself and others.

I am defined by my passions, and nothing moreso than my love of music! I have a vast collection of music, enjoy going to as many live gigs as possible, play instruments, and LOVE talking with other enthusiastic music lovers of any kind. I listen to a wide selection of genres from metal, blues, jazz, hip-hop ... I'll give anything a try really.

I also love reading, watching films, and watching and playing sport. As you can probably tell I am usually pretty busy!

I love to stay active - playing sport, going to the gym etc. There is more to life than the couch although that does have it's time and place!

Friends are important to me and I have many close ones scattered across the globe... couchsurfing is my way of adding to this 'family'.

The most important trait I look for in people is a sense of humour. If you can laugh at yourself, that is a great start !

I also love to go out for a big night and meet new people and have as many random experiences as I can! Life is for living!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
