About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel Till I Drop

ABOUT ME

I've been traveling on and off for the last 15 years of my life and have no intention of stopping yet! I spent many years traveling through working as a Scuba Diving Instructor, and as DJ. My music I play/love is Psy Trance, although I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea! :)

I spent nearly 2 years living in a camper van in Australia, another year in a van in New Zealand, and motor-homed all around Europe. The last years though have been Asia all the way, mainly Thailand and Indonesia and live out there to skip the dark cold English winter!

I just bought 3000 square meters of land on Gili Air Indonesia, and know live here and build my own hostel.

The best description of me comes from a friend of mine:

"So laid back he's horizontal"

I love meeting other travelers and getting tips on new places to visit.... The more you travel, the bigger the list of place to visit gets!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try and host when I can which is not much as I work on the road when at home in the UK, but I hosted a few times with great success, made some really amazing friends that last beyond the initial hosting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted a few times and been to some CS meetings in London. Also used the forums to meet people with similar interests .... Diving and Psy Trance people!
