ABOUT ME

Hmmm...I think that I am someone who enjoys life. Normality and complacency worry me. I love the quiet unassuming presence of nature and the sounds of the sea. I also love the hustle and bustle of the city and masses of humanity. Sometimes I just like to sit and think and people-watch. Sometimes I will talk someone's ear off. I'm genuinely interested in what you have to say.

But self-perception rarely equates with how others perceive you, so perhaps this question is best answered by you ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Live life well. Live life ethically. Don't take more than you are prepared to give back. Do the things that scare you the most.

"We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us" Charles Bukowski

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Erratically, unfortunately. Sometimes life gets in the way!
But I always love meeting people from elsewhere and hearing about their life, whether it's hosting, surfing or just meeting for a drink.

Interests

I like markets, op shopping, travelling, yoga, books, photography, mowing the lawn, thought-provoking quotes, an excellent film, good coffee, a cigar, and nice wine. I'm passionate about sustainability, giving back, learning, thinking, questioning, and exploring.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'll watch/read/listen to anything once, more if I like it :)
Oscar Wilde, TS Eliot, ee cummings, Bill Bryson are a few of my all-time favourites, but I read a bit of everyone and everything.
I love English TV shows (Black Books, Blackadder, Yes Minister, Dads Army, Porridge, the Thin Blue Line, Midsummer Murders...).

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a little about a lot - psychology, crime, research, philosophy, politics, feminism, statistics, poetry, religion, history, war and conflict...the list goes on :)
Mostly I'd just like to learn about you, beyond what you do for a living and where you grew up.
