CURRENT MISSION

Being happy

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty easy-going person most of the time. I like to laugh off life's lows and ride out the highs. I have a slightly sarcastic sense of humour and tend to take the piss a lot. Other than that I'm alright to hang around with.

PHILOSOPHY

"There is no way to happiness, happiness is the way."

'Imagine the world devoid of human life, inhabited only by plants and animals. Would it still have a past and future? Could we still speak of time in any meaningful way? The question "What time is it?" or "What's the date today?" - if anybody were there to ask it - would be quite meaningless. The oak tree or the eagle would be bemused by such a question. "What time?" they would ask. "Well, of course, its's now. The time is now. What else is there?"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Best one so far was hosting Bruce!

Interests

I'm in college studying Outdoor Education. We do kayaking, windsurfing, rock-climbing and sailing, which basically means we just have fun all the time. I read a lot and like to play.

I'm interested in a fair bit, the world, the stars the meaning of life and all that jazz. I want to get out there and explore. The tv, the internet, the written word, its no longer enough. First hand all the way... but while I can't do that I want it to come to me, so come stay on my couch.

I'm into music too, who isn't? Kings of Leon, Fleet Foxes, Iron and Wine, The Devil Makes Three, Vampire Weekend, Angus and Julia Stone, The Band, Kasabian, Bon Iver, Kings of convenience, The xx, Naked and Famous, Tired Pony, The Cat Empire. Thats them, bit of everything really. Except dubstep, never dubstep.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've recently qualified as a tefl teacher but I don't speak any other languages. I can help you improve your English if you've already got the basics.

I can teach you how to crochet beanie hats too... but then again, so can youtube.
