ABOUT ME

I would say to you that I'm an easy going person, who is fairly polite, likes a joke and a pint of beer, is open and happy to talk about anything.

PHILOSOPHY

You should always try to treat others as you would yourself, providing you treat yourself.
It is better to trust people than not to, on the whole.

Stick up for the little man.

Also, eat Marmite, it's very good for you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am hoping to use this site to make friends and meet some people in Europe. Not sure how able to host at the moment, but hopefully in the future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met a few couch surfers through friends and they seemed very nice. Other than that I used to be in a band and when we toured we did a lot of unofficial couch surfing which was great fun, but tiring. We stayed in a squat once and slept in the car. Sometimes it wasn't pretty.

Interests

Cooking, eating, board games, nursing and clinical information, video games, martial arts, philosophy, sociology, history, crypto-zoology, wine, good cheeses...other bits and bobs.
