About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Ride around the world, learning and having fun all the way

ABOUT ME

Basically, I'm living my dream right now. Riding a bike around the world for two years. Sometimes I cant believe its true! I get to travel and broaden my horizons as well as practice motorbike mechanics and off-road skills.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My trip is quite a long one, 2-3 years away from home, so I cant really be a host but who knows? Maybe I'll make some places my home along the way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm relatively new to CS, but I've always enjoyed being hosted by the many fantastic people I have met around the world.

Interests

I love motorbiking and traveling (hence the current trip) and learning languages. I play guitar, sing and have just started to learn blues harmonica (the ultimate portable musical instrument).

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies are too many to mention, but a couple of obvious ones are: Aliens, Carlto's way.

Books: Catch 22, One flew over the cookoo's nest, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy any Graham Green or George Orwell.

Music: Everything thats good. Blues, Jazz, Funk, Rock Reggae, Electronica, (Techno, Drum and Bass, House) Hip Hop, Classical. Party tunes! (well maybe classical isnt party tunes but depends on the party I guess).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've crossed Africa on a motorbike!
