About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To take over the world... one website at a time!

ABOUT ME

UPDATE: I will be travelling from FRANCE to GERMANY via BRUSSELS, BELGIUM during the next few weeks. I am going by car and would like to offer anyone that wants to come a free round trip. You would need to either arrange or pay for your own accommodations for a TWO night trip; one night in Brussels and one night in Dortmund, Germany then back here to France where you are welcome to stay with me for as long as you want. My car is comfortable, a Jaguar S Type.

I am 26 years old and I live in France. I am English born and bred but moved here at the ripe old age of 21 upon the purchase of a house here.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to see the world and give to others. I get great enjoyment from hosting people in my home so this is a large part of why I am joining couchsurfers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Not a lot is the bottom line. I would love to participate further but I live in the middle of nowhere so there aren't exactly weekly meetings for couch surfers. It is my hope though to start getting people interested over here and hopefully expand the couch surfers international network here in France.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't yet had any experience of couch surfing but look forward both to hosting and surfing myself in the near future!

Interests

I love computers, the internet and web design but I'm not stuck to my screen. I also spend a lot of time introducing people to the North of France and so, whilst not exactly being experienced in the ways of couch surfing, I certainly know how to be a good tour guide. Luckily I live in an area rich in culture that provides hundreds of possibilities at all budget levels.

Music, Movies, and Books

Far too many of each to even start listing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I will have to come back to this one.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach most computer based technologies as well as English as a Foreign Language; Advanced English and French. I am currently learning Malagasy, the language of Madagascar but would dearly love to learn Chinese (Man or Can), Japanese, Russian or Arabic. My passion is (obviously!) languages!
