About Me

CURRENT MISSION

You change the tribe, and the tribe changes you! (yes i admit i stole this from a film..but its true)

ABOUT ME

Im 30 years old, but if you bring me a fake beard and grey hair i can look about 70, if you tell me to shave i look about 28. mentally i have the brain of an 80 year old party animal.
Im a traveller so i never tend to hang around long enough to settle in one place...however Poland has become the exception to this rule...although i still have the travel bug after seeing most of our wonderful planet, ive been living in Krakow for the last 2 years...im using couchsurfing as a way to meet new like-minded (if its possible) people. if anyone visits krakow and needs someone to show them around then contact me... if its a totally cultural experience your looking for or simply a tour of all the bars and clubs(well thats not possible cos theres too many)let me know. i know my way around most of the south of poland also..so if anyone wants to join me on my adventures you can do. i just want to have fun and share my great experiences with others.

PHILOSOPHY

"Crazy is as crazy does" - forest gump
"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get" - also forest gump, a very wise man
"You are what you eat" and i eat everything...no only joking im not such a philosophical person...but i can say travelling broadens the mind

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i do have accomodation...my beds very comfortable.
the couch and the floor arent as comfortable but thats to be expected..if you want to pay for the redecorating of my flat before you come, you are more than welcome to do so. my flat is nice but its not paris hilton.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

as a traveller i dont care where i stay as long as im alive when i wake up.

Interests

im interested in new experiences...seeing new countries, cultures and meeting the strange people that inhabit the planet earth. i love photography especially capturing wildlife in their natural habitat. im very interested in nature, and this is one of the beauties travelling enables me to see.
i play most sports, basketball being my favourite.
i like to party, who doesnt?
ill be honest i just like living life to the max

Music, Movies, and Books

after travelling New Zealand and meeting a few hobbits i have to say the lord of the rings is one of my favourite films in terms of scenery...but there are many wonderful films out there, music hmmm...
by the way i cant really speak zulu (so if there were any zulu's wanting to visit Krakow, please bring a translator) however, i do like listening to Leftfield and African Bambaataa, as well as chemical brothers, Underworld, moby, beatles, the cure, the clash, black lace party hits...basically i listen to anything that isnt noise, but in saying that sometimes noise can sound good!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ive survived life so far, thats quite amazing considering some of the crazy things ive done

Teach, Learn, Share

knowledge rule one: dont try opening a coconut with a knife if theres a scewer (spikey thing) near the beach.
two: if your planning a skydive, take a spare pair of underwear.
three: snakes dont bite, people do!
four: stay off the brown acid...wise words from a somewhat high man at a festival.
five: lifes about experience..so learn for yourself!
