Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I am currently traveling across Canada, West to East, to see all the sights and sounds I can. I have been working for the past 10 months and now I'm enjoying meeting people from all over the world but especially Canadian's(As it's a tour of Canada)
ABOUT ME
I enjoy a go with the flow plan to life and that seems to get me to some pretty awesome places. I tried planning things out but I found that to be a bit stressful and not fun.
I have been in Canada since October 2010 and I have earned (just) enough to get me across from the West coast to the East.
I am very good at fixing computers and I also enjoy it thoroughly, even when most people want to rip their hair out because it's so frustrating! I have shaved my hair off so this is no longer an option for me. Hah Har! Win!
PHILOSOPHY
Stop worrying about what could happen and just embrace everything that does happen. Sometimes bad things will happen to you, but if they didn't, how would you know you are having a good time? Let yourself go but also push yourself to the extreme. Something up there is trying to guide you so just roll with it.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I try and bring smiles to any faces. Once I get my own home again, back in sunny London England, I'll be sure to welcome all sorts of lovely people to see how comfy my couch is.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have slept on many couches in my life. Sometimes I don't even remember how I got there. Once I woke up sleeping on the floor next to a bed because it was completely pitch black and I couldn't find the bed (I was sooo close!)
Interests
I love music. Mainly Metal, but also styles that are completely opposite. For example Bjork to Pantera, Jose Gonzales to System of a Down and Zero 7 to Pendulum.
I also love snowboarding, mountain biking, hiking, reading and well, anything that puts a smile on my face.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music, well. I think it just boils down to Original, energetic or chilled.
Books, I don't read that much fiction because I love to learn about everything around me. But I do try and squeeze in the odd fictional novel.
Movies, I'm not a big fan of anything too Hollywood so you won't see me running out to see the latest Iron man movie. I guess I'm more into things like Donnie Darko, Fear and loathing in Las Vegas, Black Dynamite, Pulp Fiction ect. I also a big fan of South Park.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I'd have to say the most amazing thing I have done in my lifetime is realising that I don't need to take life seriously. I did this in New Zealand in 2009. I had a major change in my life and I decided to just throw myself into the unknown. Ever since then life has been non stop fun and experiences that have made me stronger.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you how to fix computers and if you are ever stuck I am just an email away. I can also tell you how I put a smile on my face and with this you may be able to on even more occasions. If you are always smiling, I'd like to know how you do it!
