About Me

CURRENT MISSION

*Happiness*

ABOUT ME

Hey there everyone
So, I'm a bit of a traveller, been to some nice places, met some of the greatest people in the world so I have been really lucky.

I like most things really, very usual, parties, travelling, making new friends, keeping old friends, sports, music of all kinds, concerts, books, talking, coffee, cooking, the natural environment, eating.
I think I'm laid back, friendly, calm, and fun to be with.

PHILOSOPHY

A stranger is a friend you haven't met yet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am hosted more than I host since I am away so much. But when I have hosted I have really enjoyed being able to support other travelers on their adventures.

I am happy to host surfers for a few days as they explore this beautiful and remote area of the U.K. If you cannot surf, feel free to contact me about meeting up for coffee, food, a festival or concert, travelling or anything else you might be involved in, when I'm free I'm up for most things

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have stayed in a few different spots around the U.S. Europe and New Zealand, mostly great experience with a few weird ones to keep life interesting.

Interests

All things fun and friendly. I am very keen on outdoor sports and adventures. When I settle with a job, I will be saving for a motorbike expedition.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like a wide variety of music but my regular go to groups would be infected mushroom, Angus & Julia Stone, Blackmill and Mike Love

I am really into the work of Alan Watts, Terrence McKennan and Derren Brown at the moment. I also enjoy the Economist and other current affairs.

Books wise I really enjoy reading, I loved Harry Potter when it came out. Tuesdays with Morrie is a classic, all the Ross O'Carrol Kelly books were hilarious but a bit niche. Something with a bigger message usually gets my interest

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teaching a child to ride a bike.

Teach, Learn, Share

In the East everyone smiles, in the west everyone scouls, why?? Try smiling at a stranger, bet most people smile back!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories about my life, I love good discussion and will talk or learn depending if I know the topic. I've not had a bad experience when sharing a space and hope it continues this way
