About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see it all...and sweet talk my bank manager on return.

ABOUT ME

Don't you just hate describing yourself. Here goes...

Easy going, happy person and interested in all that life has to offer. Love to see the less touristy things and getting off the beaten track and to meet people from all walks of life. Having said that, I like to visit the "tick box" places too ;-)

Love sitting around discussing life, current affairs etc., but not too deeply. Love to laugh and guess I have a very English sense of humor.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live. It's too easy to judge prematurely

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By being me! I hereby swear that however many couch's i sleep on during my travels, I will endevour to return the favour twice over. In short, you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours (or somebody else's) :-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Although new to this site I have slept on enough couch's to probably be considered a European giant. I have the ability to sleep almost anywhere, through almost any noise.

Have met other couch surfers for picnic on my 1st day in Los Angeles and ended up finding a host for the night. Also met people who have showed me around the city an that was the best thing so far!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled the world dammit...how amazing is that?

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn to be one of those people capable of knocking up a meal when there is nothing in the cupboard.

I will share anything I can, knowledge-wise, although it may be little! I am a pretty good handy man, so if you need something fixing...?
