About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Taking the fear out of holiday destinations.

ABOUT ME

I have a need to keep learning especially about people, science and most importantly any type of art. I have a fascination about the impact religion has on people and the reaction I get when I tell people I'm a humanist. The human mind is so powerful, that when all the evidence is pointing one way, we as a race, still manage to want to believe.

PHILOSOPHY

"You never really know a man until you stand in his shoes and walk around in them" Harper Lee.

I like trying on shoes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Not as much as I would like, my mind is willing but time is limited. This is not the right answer, dam work and the lack of time!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

What's not to love about CouchSurfing, traveling, meeting and greeting, all wrapped up with mutual understanding. You scratch my back and I will scratch yours.

Interests

I like to go to the theatre, gaggle at gigs, admire architecture, read books, visit art galleries all that good stuff.

Music, Movies, and Books

At the moment I like Iranian films, English Folk music including Chris Wood and any book by George Orwell and poems by Ted Hughes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Whilst travelling independently through Mongolia I camped in amazing spots I felt like I was only person on the planet. Camping out under the stars, staring up at the Milky Way whilst surrounded by the majestic Gobi desert, amazing.
