ABOUT ME

Haha, you would probably have to ask them about that one. I hope that they would say, friendly, easy to get on with, open minded and inquisitive.

PHILOSOPHY

Respect for others as in:

It was, if I can phrase it like this, a matter of everything I hated versus everything I loved. In the hate column: dictatorship, religion, stupidity, demagogy, censorship, bullying, and intimidation. In the love column: literature, irony, humor, the individual, and the defense of free expression.

Christopher Hitchens, Hitch-22: A Memoir

Humility as in:

“One of the painful things about our time is that those who feel certainty are stupid, and those with any imagination and understanding are filled with doubt and indecision.”
― Bertrand Russell on the Dunning–Kruger effect

Integrity as in:

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

No 'Official' experience as of yet however I have been lucky enough to benefit form many peoples kindness and hospitality on my travels.

Centres d'intérêt

Travel, leaning more about people, places and how they interact. I also love to read anything I can get my hands on really but Hitchens, Harris, Hennessy and Hunter Thompson are a couple from one station of the alphabet. Good company and a couple of good drinks engage me and I believe that that combination is the secret to healthy living.
