CURRENT MISSION

To bear witness to the wide plethora of wonder which the world has to offer (as long as there are couches available)

ABOUT ME

Well, I'm about 5.8 and I've been told in the past year by a few close friends that I've become a boring little man so I thought it would be smart to sign myself up to this wonderful community upon recommendation from a mate at uni.

Whether it is discovering the historical roots of a city or flailing wildly in one of its nightclubs I am up for mostly anything, I believe we earn our stories and the people we meet in this life so there is no point in restricting yourself.

PHILOSOPHY

If I stay in the same place for too long I would melt, putting myself into new encounters and the people that come with them rejuvenates and re affirms my outlook on life itself

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm yet to host or surf but it is purely for the social aspect and visiting new places.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None as of yet, the reason I've joined is to open myself up to different ways of experincing a country and its populace.

Interests

Film is my main interest being an avid watcher and student, I occasionally pick up my longboard and go out for a cruise (be it around London or Winchester).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Kayaking through Pont d'arc.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've got a tendency to deviate onto obscure tangents but I'm mainly interested in the ideas and opinions of others although this doesn't mean I'll rule out a good debate.

I would also like to add that I believe I learn new things everyday, I can be sure of few things and am happy to live as is, this seems like the perfect place to share experiences with people and learn more.
