CURRENT MISSION

Finish my to do list.

ABOUT ME

I eat marmite everyday.

I probably will decline your request if you're a dude and your profile picture is of you semi (or fully) naked on a beach. It's just not necessary, a bit like Bono's sunglasses.

PHILOSOPHY

Either grow a beard or don't...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Mostly good, but some not so good...

The best ones tend to involve great music, late nights and 'filling in the blanks' over brunch the next day.

The worst ones involve a strange couple spending all their days 'exploring' the city and all their nights 'exploring' each other. On my couch. ALL NIGHT.

And they finished my cheese. Bastards.

So NO couples. If you want a cheap romantic break then go camping of find a nicer host that me.

Interests

Traveling (!), writing, live music, independent cinema, reading, playing football (soccerball to all you 'mericans), running, photography, learning Spanish (slowly!) and Norwegian, saving the planet and cooking (esp. Indian).

I have recently purchased a harmonica.....
