CURRENT MISSION

To meet interesting new friends in my new home.

ABOUT ME

I am a writer and if I get comfortable around people I can be funny, I love making new friends and talking about deep topics, I love swimming, biking and traveling. I love seeing films and seeing new places. When you are getting to know me I can be quite shy but I can sometimes have a lot to say when you get to know me better. I love listening to people and being the best friend I can be.

PHILOSOPHY

"When you follow your bliss, doors will open where you would not have thought there would be doors; and where there wouldn't be a door for anyone else."
~Joseph Campbell

"Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand and melting like a snowflake. Let us use it before it is too late." Marie Beynon Ray

"All that is gold does not glitter. Not all those who wander are lost." J.R.R. Tolkien

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I use couchsurfing mostly to meet new friends in my area.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I participated a lot with the couchsurfing group in Brighton, UK but have not ever hosted myself or been hosted. (yet!) I think couchsurfing is a great idea and I love meeting people on this site.

Interests

Enjoy swimming, creative writing, reading, watching films, learning languages, green and sustainability topics, hanging out with friends, seeing new places, laughing, drinking.

I've got a long list of items that I want to do before I die, including breaking a world record, learning sign language, founding a charity, publishing my own music album, inventing my own language, getting arrested, building a successful business, writing a best-selling book, learning hieroglyphics, creating a new kind of plant, and skydiving. This list is growing all the time.
