People say to me that i live my life, which always makes me smile. I wasn't aware there was another option.

i'm just about to set off on an adventure. I plan on making my way to berlin by bike and packraft stopping off everywhere interesting along the way to soak up the sights and atmosphere.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was an Electrical Design Engineer but realized there's a lot of time when I'm older to sit at a desk under fluorescent lighting. But traveling and adventures have more of a time limit, commitments develop. My job was my only commitment so I quit to go and find a life that's a bit more me. So I'm going adventuring. I want to learn about other cultures and their history, architecture, music, art. The food...so much food to try so little time. There are some amazing people out there as well

Interests

Kayaking has to be number 1 been doing it since I was about 10. I have paddled with Otters, Dolphins, Eagles, Snakes, in peace and tranquility on quiet backwaters and I have fought for my life in white water.

Photography, Hiking, Sailing, Rock Climbing, Abseiling, Guitar badly :),Horse Riding, Scuba Diving, Snowboarding, Mountain Boarding.
I have tried kite surfing, surfing, windsurfing, quad-biking, archery, shooting, karate, Europe's longest zip line was intense.

I have done a few Paramotor flights as well, once I have returned from my adventures I'm definitely getting one it was amazing.

I'm a bit of an Adrenalin junkie but I'm pretty geeky as well I made my own 3D printer and have a few little electronics projects like a kayak alarm that texts me if someone tries to steal my boats, a GPS speedo for my sailing boat. A home made CNC router is on my to make list next but again not till after I have seen a bit of the world.

I love dogs. If you have a dog please don't be offended if I spend more time with your dog than with you : )

Music, Movies, and Books

I'll listen to most music but my favorite bands are the Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Kings Of Leon, Blink 182, Pulp, and Bliss N Eso. I often put some classic music on if i want to concentrate on something.
I don't really have time to watch movies but I suppose my favorite films are Fight Club and Pulp Fiction. Most of the books I read are non-fiction how to type things

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saved a life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm English so I can teach you that, or photography. I'm a kayaking instructor and I'll be traveling with an inflatable kayak. I can teach you all about electronics but you don't want me to unless your having difficulty sleeping. I'll learn what ever your willing to teach I'd like to improve my languages though.
