CURRENT MISSION

To eat my way round the world!

ABOUT ME

Hmmm...When people fill out this they generally put down what they'd like to think of themselves. In light of that...Well I like to think that i'm a serious nutter or is that a nutty serious person? Seriously though i'm more of a overgrown kid, not much of a conversationalist though but I make up for it by being fairly handy in the kitchen.

PHILOSOPHY

Death comes to those who wait, you only got one shot at life. If you don't make the most of it, well....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When asked about couchsurfing i end up descibing it with comparisons to facebook with a ebay rating system and they look at me like i'm a madman. But couchsurfing is so much more than the sum of it's parts. It's the people who make it work, those who are willing to take the risk of inviting a total stranger into their world, or stepping into a strangers world. Those who want to learn and experience a world without boundaries. A world as it should be. Initially i was worried that i wouldn be accepted, that my mind would be too narrow, and although it may be i can't wait for the next chance to broaden it.

Interests

Being a mech engineer it doesn't take much imagination to figure out my main passion is, other than that i seem to lead a pretty sedate life. I'm a big extreme sports fan, anything that gets a adrenaline rush and i'm willing to try it eg enduro kayaking, climbing etc.
My other great intrest is food! Enough said

Music, Movies, and Books

I love instrumental music like G3, John 5, Joe Satriani, Apocalyptica but my tastes are pretty eccentric, primarily metal like Shadows Fall, Arch Enemy, Nightwish through blues (Mississippi John Hurt, Vintage Trouble) to good old fashioned rock'n'roll.
Movies...I like good movies and movies that are so bad they're good.
