About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to travel, continue to travel but most importantly to meet new people who are willing to share their views and culture

ABOUT ME

I've been travelling and working for nearly the last 3 years. I like travelling because it allows me the opportunity to meet new and interesting people from all walks of life with different views and ideas and experiences that allows me to change and grow thus allowing further travel and sharing of above the mentioned :-) when I travel I like to take my time and always try at least one new thing. I find it more important to be in a place... Like really take it in than to race around getting Facebook profile pics and holiday snaps.

PHILOSOPHY

I guess from travelling the length of time I have I've found people the world over to be good people with alot to share. I use to like to think i knew everything when I was younger now I hope to never know everything, because it's too much fun travelling around meeting and learning from new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Not sure how I should answer this one... I participate by.... Wanting to participate. It really depends, but I think everyone on couch surfing wants to participate in travel and sharing so I guess I do that. Also we all participate on a social level everyday of our lives so I guess I like to meet people and hopefully leave them better or richer for the experience. Thats sort of what I hope to get from travel and meeting people so I think its only fair I give as good as I hope to get ( or atleast try, we can all have off days)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just used it for meet ups with people as I tend to not really have a definitive time as to where I will be and when. I sort of arrive places when I arrive and then look for people who might want to hang out and give me some insight into where ever it is that i am :-) but I'm getting better at planning so I'll see if I cant actual sort out a stay somewhere soon. Watch this space

Interests
