ABOUT ME

I'm a keen traveller and I am happiest when I have my backpack on. I enjoy going to different countries to learn about their culture, trying their food and meeting the people!

PHILOSOPHY

Clint Eastwood's Ten Rules a Man Should Live By:

1. Call your own shots.
2. Be fearless.
3. Keep moving.
4. Love your job.
5. Speak softly.
6. Don’t be predictable.
7. Find a good woman.
8. Learn to play the piano.

10.Avoid extreme make-overs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My couch is available until I put my backpack on again and head down south! :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My only couchsurfing experience so far is meeting fellow couchsurfers that my friends have hosted. They seem like really cool people and that made me sign up to be a part of this couchsurfing experience!

Interests

Things that interest me:

* TRAVELLING - It's my favourite thing in the world!

* HOT CHOCOLATE - Hot chocolate before bed is the best and sends me to sleep.

* DISCOVERY CHANNEL and NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC CHANNEL - because the world is just awesome!

* BARBECUES - Roasting marshmallows round the fire with your friends is great!

* ARRIVING AT YOUR DESTINATION - Arriving at your destination after travelling on a bus/train/plane/boat/camel/elephant for hours and hours is a great feeling.

* THE OCEAN - The sound of the waves crashing is so soothing.

* MY GIRLFRIEND - Everything about her interests me (cue the ahhhhhhhhh's)

* MONKEY - My dog monkey who is back in England and I miss him dearly.
