About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Home sweet home.

ABOUT ME

I like the adventure of going somewhere new, doing something different, meeting other interesting people and simply taking the opportunity that life brings along.

PHILOSOPHY

Listen to your heart, it will tell you what to do, where to go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've managed to meet a few people that are involved in Couch Surging along my travels. Thanks to them, I'm getting involved in this global community. So so far I've managed to land on a few couchs and meet some awesome people. I am looking forward to returning the favour soon!

Music, Movies, and Books

Love books. Give me a book, a blanket and a couch, and you won't see me at that party on Friday night!
Some favourite books:
The Mayne Inheritance
A Fortunate Life
The Alchemist
Shantaram
Harry Potter
His Dark Materials
The Elle Chronicals
The Millenium Series
and so on...
Music.. aweful love for all things Folk/Pop and the likes of The Frames, Amy Winehouse, Adele, Mardi Lumsden and the Rising Seas, Sade etc
Some people have even accussed me of an overly Irish influenced CD rack but also have a great weakness for Reggae, Rock and the all time Favourite Beer Drinking Songs! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For various reasons, most of my travels have been solo... trekking up to Everest Base camp solo, hiking around Patagonian Andes, grabbing a last minute deal to Antarctica... Life's amazing! Just grab hold and go along with the ride.

Teach, Learn, Share

"When the student is ready, the teacher will appear."

(I can't remember where this quote comes from, perhaps it was the Alchemist...)

Countries I’ve Visited

Antarctica, Argentina, Austria, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Myanmar, Nepal, Netherlands, New Zealand, Peru, Switzerland, Thailand, United Kingdom
