CURRENT MISSION

To meet a person from every country in the world at some point in my life. To worry less about the state of the world.

ABOUT ME

I have done a little couchsurfing at different times, but mostly quite a few years ago. I am still relatively new to couchsurfing but I like the principles that lie behind it, particularly just spending some time meeting new people in a new city. At the moment, due to difficulties with accommodation, I can only offer to meet, show people round, cook some food for people. I may be able to host again sometime in the future.

I currently live and work in Southampton, UK - not a glamorous city but it's also not too bad!

PHILOSOPHY

Help those in need; never judge those who struggle because we are all in our own struggles of some kind; always say please and thank-you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To visit places, meet people, share experiences and cook/eat/drink/travel with others wherever I go!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed a couple of times now, and enjoyed both experiences. I've hosted as well. All in all, nothing bad to say! I am respectful when visiting a place and am also accommodating and flexible.

Interests

Music - punk, rock, indie, ska, pop.
Sports - football, tennis.
Travelling to places well off the beaten path. I like seeing real life more than museums/tourist places.
Food - vegetarian.

Music, Movies, and Books

Films: I tend to prefer 'kitchen sink realism'...or generally just films about the small details of everyday life. This Is England, Ken Loach films, American Beauty, Requiem for a Dream

Books: Travel writing, social science, psychology

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I drove from London to Mongolia in a car for charity.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have an intimate knowledge of climate and weather patterns - I'm guessing that is not going to interest many people though!
