I was born in North England (Manchester) and grew up there for 23 years of my life. I then moved South for 4 years, and then spent almost 1 year in Poland, where I worked on setting up a language exchange course (which didn't take off in the end - I am a budding entrepreneur in development!) I believe good business can change the World for the better and that it can empower good people.

I love rollerblading, skateboarding and snowboard (even though I've only been to a slope 10 times), interesting music (hip-hop, rock, soul, jazz, blues etc.) all types of design, and generally I am a pretty placid person who enjoys light-hearted chat and being stupid!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To travel in an interesting way!

Interests

Rollerblading, skateboarding, snowboarding, music, business, politics. I'm currently learning to snowboard, love all things adrenaline based, I love music too, and dabble with the pots and pans although it's not really an interest, I just like eating.

Music, Movies, and Books

Nirvana, DJ Shadow, Jimi Hendrix, The Gaslamp Killer. These are my favourite musicians, and I like lots and lots of different stuff in-between.

Movies - Not too good with movies, but...One Flew Over The Cookoos Nest, To Kill A Mocking Bird, and City Lights (Charlie Chaplin)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stopped a horse from running in front of a bus.
