About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Hitchiking France>Germany>Austria>Hungary>Romania>Montenegro>Croatia

ABOUT ME

I am an open minded 23 year old with a passion for meeting new people to share experiences, stories and friendship. I always listen to people no matter how much I disagree with them but I am not afraid to speak my mind. I want to put myself out in the world taking as much in and learning as much as I can before I get old and sensible. I am an aspiring doctor, a scientist a socialist and a traveller.

PHILOSOPHY

I never know what to say for these sorts of bits. I guess my aim in life is to always leave a place better than I found it. But here are some of my favourite to give you an idea of me =)

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.
Jim Morrison

If good things are coming, they will be a pleasant surprise, if bad things are, and you know in advance, you will suffer greatly before they even occur.
Paulo Coellno

A man who does not think for himself does not think at all.
Oscar Wilde

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
Oscar Wilde

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.
Mark Twain

The best books . . . are those that tell you what you already know
George Orwell

I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ
Gandhi

Not all those who wander are lost
J.R.R. Tolkein

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind
Dr Seus

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.”
Mark Twain

“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.”
St. Augustine

"Be yourself, everyone else is taken"
Oscar Wilde

"Man is least himself when he talks in the first person. Give him a mask and he will tell you the truth"
Oscar Wilde

"Live forever or die in the attempt"
Joseph Heller

“Hope will never be silent.”
― Harvey Milk

“The role of human imagination is to conceive of all these delightful futures and choose the most exciting, ecstatic and amazing possibility and then pull the present forward to meet it.” ~ Imaginary Foundation

It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances. The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible....”

― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

'I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy because they know what it’s like to feel absolutely worthless and they don’t want anyone else to feel like that' - Robin Williams

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I joined a few years ago when I was hitchhiking around northern Europe and had a great experience meeting some truly amazing people.
I have not yet had a chance to host anyone yet due to my living arrangements but I look forward to doing so in the future!

Interests

My friends are very important to me and I always find time to do stuff with them. From a quiet coffee to clubbing. Some specific things I like discussing and even campaigning on is mental health and the mind in general and drug law =)

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a pretty broad taste in all of these (who doesn't? haha). Quentin Tarrantino is one of my favourite directors. I do like my 70s music. I am currently reading 'Feeling Good; the new mood therapy' (on cognitive based therapy) and some Noam Comsky =D
