About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Soccer writing all over the USA

ABOUT ME

I am in the States, travelling round and doing some freelance journalism in soccer (MLS). If you want to see more go to http://insidesoccerusa.blogspot.com
I have spent a couple of months in Australia over Christmas, with my girlfriend, who I miss an awful lot while i'm travelling

PHILOSOPHY

Be happy and be nice.
Good manners don't cost a thing, and I have no time for rude people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well right now, I need places to stay - so far I have stayed with people in Denver & Kansas, and it's been great!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Denver, CO
Kansas City, MO
Houston, TX
Columbus, OH
All excellent experiences so far....

Interests

Socialising - I love talking and meeting new people.
I also love travelling, and have only recently arrived in the USA.
Speaking to other travellers about their experiences is fascinating, and I hope I can interest them with my stories too!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: anything with Tom Hanks (Forrest Gump is a BIG favourite), The Rock, Jurassic Park, Lord of the Rings, I like good comedy's, too many to mention really. I do LOVE watching movies though!

Music: Muse are my favourite, also like Coldplay, and The Killers, MGMT.....most things really. Not jazz though....

Books: takes me ages to read books, but into anything James Patterson - thrillers mostly. I admit I like Harry Potter too

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing the fish at the Great Barrier Reef was incredible, and seeing my girlfriend swim with them when she was SOO scared was even better. I was so proud of her :D
