ABOUT ME

After finishing uni I went on a 2 year trip to South East Asia and Australia. I then taught English for one year in South Korea and have now started traveling again.

In general I have varied interests and a positive outlook on life. I try and enjoy every day and the more random an idea is, the more likely I am to try it.

Also on 3rd July 2010 I set myself a list of 176 things to do before I'm 30, here is the list. If you feel you can help me with any of these things then I will be happy to hear from you

PHILOSOPHY

Remain positive whatever the situation and try to do something new each day. There is no point living the same day over and over again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed, hosted, attended events and tried to promote couchsurfing to my friends and people who I meet on my travels.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Most of my favourite experiences have involved Couchsurfing somehow. I have been hosted by some amazing people and have kept in touch with nearly all of my CS friends. I also hosted while living in Korea and enjoyed seeing Couchsurfing from the hosts perspective. I hope to increase my usage of Couchsurfing in 2013.
