About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Bringing www.ez-isa.com to the world- not travel, but still adventure

ABOUT ME

What, in a little box in 30 seconds?? Hopefully you'll get to form your own opinion!

PHILOSOPHY

Haha- I'm still working on this! Having studied philosophy at uni I know what a slippery question this can be and haven't nearly got it pinned down yet. Something along the lines of being flexible, open-minded, understanding and accepting, peaceful and fair while always keeping a keen eye for an adventure and a challenge will have to do for now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think this is a brilliant idea. It helps facilitate and formalise the generosity I've always found from regular people, wherever I've met them. I expect I'll keep doing what I've always done- help people out where ever I possibly can, this will just make it easier. Having access to like-minded people is going to be great too!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Nothing formal! Plenty of good times spent on friends' couches- old and new, and always happy to take care of a friend, or friend-of-friend, passing through or in a tight spot.

Interests

Travel, obviously!
Music, reading, my new motorcycle, keeping fit- a bit of running/swimming/gyming, films, surfing, snowboarding, mountainbiking, dancing.

Music, Movies, and Books

American literature holds a great interest for me- though as a relatively quiet Englishman it's an outsider's interest. Beat generation stuff, the writings of the Good Doctor and Mr Kesey are all good. Along with that I like to have a stab at some 'classics' and any non-fiction that feeds my curiosity.

Film-wise? Stuff that's deep, different and well made with a decent soundtrack or something that'll make me laugh.

Music? Something I can get into and dance to when I'm out and more bandy stuff when I'm in. I've listened to a lot of music over my life and am now having to pilage the archives for fresh stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There've been a few but the best has got to be setting off on a 6 week solo motorcycle tour of South East Asia. Or getting a one-way ticket to a job in Singapore? Or...

Teach, Learn, Share

Great idea this. I'm a pro at financial planning and reckon everyone could benefit from an hour's crash-course to get to grips with some basic truths. Would like to learn to play the guitar properly!
