CURRENT MISSION

I am locked in a battle to the death (read: end of the year) with my friend. Who will be victorious? Who will have visited the most European countries by 2014?

ABOUT ME

The world is too big to spend all of my life just staring at spreadsheets and talking to clients. So I like to get a bit of balance by getting away form the hustle bustle of 'The Big Smoke' as much as I can, be it city, country, mountain or coast.

PHILOSOPHY

1. Live life everyday.
2. Regret nothing.
3. Be amazed when I achieve both 1 and 2.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couchsurfing has been really highly recommended to me as a great way to get a genuine experience of different countries. I really want to meet great people and experience the cultures and cuisines of all the corners of the world. Hopefully Couchsurfing can help me do this.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet. I'm a brand new convert.

Interests

Good beer and great food must come top of the list. I love walking and play ultimate frisbee when I can.

• dining
• beer
• walking

Music, Movies, and Books

I love movies and go to the cinema regularly. I'll see anything, but try to steer clear of cheesy horror, stupid comedies and predictable romance.

I would describe my music taste as selectively mainstream, but it is pretty diverse. If I am out, I love a bit of dance or R&B. If I am in hen probably something a little more chilled like Bonobo or Ludovico Einaudi.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last year I walked the length of Hadrian's wall in the north of England and trekked to Cuidad Perdida in Colombia. Two amazing experiences.

Other memorable moments include a trip down Highway 1 in California, a night on a sleeper train in India and a multitude of experiences during my time in SE Asia.

I'm yet to jump out of a plane or off a bridge, but there is still time...hopefully!
