About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world, never turn down cake or ice cream & make people smile!

ABOUT ME

All my friends call me Kip, which is short for 'Kipper'. Something my Nan used to call me. I live in Bognor Regis, a small town on the South Coast of England. If you don't like blinding sunshine, damn tasty ice cream, crazy old-people, clear-crisp ocean and the finest putting green on the South Coast... then this place isn't for you!!

PHILOSOPHY

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened!
and don't talk during the cinema.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I once slept on a Table in Phoenix.

Interests

Right now I'm working on giving up kebabs whilst relearning English. Playing a lot of guitar, drinking plenty of Tea, learning a couple of tricks... one awesome cowboy rope trick!! Climbing, cycling, eating hot-as-hell curry.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Gattaca is my all-time favourite, not sure why, just makes me feel good. Lord of The Rings, Garden State, The Motorcycle Diaries.

Music: Dave Matthews Band, the music is just amazing, plus Dave is a nutcase. John Mayer, Counting Crows, Phil Collins, The Shins, and whilst in my brother's car, gansta rap.

Books: Ender's Game was great, His Dark Materials Trilogy blew me away, plus any book that makes me laugh out loud.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Jumped off the tallest Bungee Jump in the world, Storms River in South Africa... right after watching an 80 year-old woman leap off before me! There was no turning back.

Teach, Learn, Share
