About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Just keeping that smile on my face

ABOUT ME

ALL ABOUT ME?????
Where does one begin.
Been a beach bum for most of my life.Even when there was no beach in side.

PHILOSOPHY

IDEALS ARE LIKE STARS
WE MAY NEVER REACH THEM,BUT LIKE THE ANCIENT MARINER
WE CAN CHARTER OUR COURSE TO THEM
also
IF YOU DON`T SUCCEED AT FIRST,
SKYDIVING IS NOT THE THING FOR YOU.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Don`t have a couch at the moment,tried to fit the last one in backpack but sadly failed in that.So untill my next home I hope to first visit a few couches myself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As many who have lived in London I started on a couch and slowly moved up through the ranks in the houseshare.
Seen a few couches while hitchhiking around and people toke me in for the night.Having said that,I also saw some sleeples night by side off the road.

Interests

Hmmm food going on top here I think
Travel,sun,full moon,white golden sandy beaches,rugged coastlines filled with rocks,trips into the mountains,trips out of the mountains,getting lost in a new city,finally finding my way around in a new city,riding any motorbike I can get my hands on,owning my own Triumph Rocket 3,seeing Holland win the world cup football sometime but right now it`s getting some lunch :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once upon a time I did a shortlived spell as a sailor on a cargo boat.
WOW,it is amazing how much water there is on this place.
And we`re running short of water,is that gonna be the irony of mankind?
