About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To rule the world or at least see it.

ABOUT ME

All about me, I'm split between endless travels and finding the perfect career. I know a little about a lot and trying to work the rest out. Check out my blog or my flickr (www.flickr.com/blueatjustchill).

PHILOSOPHY

Why do i live my life? Maybe because I would die otherwise and this seems the better option. I haven't worked out the meaning of life but when I do I'll get back to you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well I visit cities and try to meet people, it's a start.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well I stayed with a very nice cs in Korea so venturing out a little bit at a time.

Interests

Well I studied for what seems an eternity about international development, microfinance, african union, north korea, korean war and park chung hee. I love learning about history and culture.
I've started learning to cook more than my world famous cheese on toast. I also like going to festivals, cycling and football.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - Jesse Malin, Rodrigo Y Gabriella, Idlewild and everything in between
Books - I'm reading Marx and Tolstoy at the moment.
Movies - I love Korean and Brazilian films but you can't beat a good documentary or Forrest Gump.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

London to Tokyo without the use of a plane and seeing Usain Bolt become the fastest man in history. It's all relative I guess. I cycled the entire length of Korea and Kayaked through Laos. I've been in a coup and held up by gunmen.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn: I want to learn why different people from different culture do things. I want to learn what is important to people and how they see the future. I also want to learn how to be paid to travel.

Teach: I can tell stories of my adventures and impart a bit of experience of budgeting while traveling. I also show how to make good cheese on toast.
