CURRENT MISSION

To recover from my hangover

ABOUT ME

Very easy going and laid back. I like to think I am hilarious - humour is very important to me and if you'd like to experience the famed "English sense of humour" then I'd be a good bet. I find humour in pretty much everything and love a bit of banter and cheek. I am very open to new experiences and meeting new people although I do draw the line at Sumo Wrestling or being a human cannonball.

PHILOSOPHY

Beer - the cause of and solution to - all problems. (can I just say that I do not drink anywhere near as much alcohol as this profile is making it appear - I do spend the majority of my life sober!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well I host and couchsurf and at least try and offer some help and guidance to people visiting Manchester - this included helping Lea and her friend get back to mine on New Years eve by getting a Police Car to give them a lift home.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not much. I once fell asleep on a mates staircase at a house party. I have also fallen asleep with my head on a toilet. Probably not relevant experiences.
Oh yeah and I have couchsurfed in Boston with the lovely Tricia, in Warsaw with the fanstastic Marta and hosted some great people in this great city of mine.

Interests

I'm passionate about travel, sport, music and film. I play rugby and volleyball, salsa dance, love music - especially Indie, eating, drinking, clubbing and new experiences. I travel as much as I can - the weirder the place the better. I also speak a little spanish y quiero practicar!
