Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Started hosting a few surfers, travelled the world and stayed with another few. Everyone was an awesome experiences and felt like i've made friends from each experience.

Interests

I love music, gigs, buying CD's, I play the guitar (badly). I used to DJ in a few rock clubs in England. I also like drinkin JD. Would love to carry on skydiving which i started a few years ago, but the British weather and the cost kinda stopped that. I kickbox and do some MMA training a few times a week and promote local shows. I love going to gigs, and watching rugby.

Music, Movies, and Books

I could go on forever about music i like, but generally its alternative stuff, rock, metal, punk etc. (esp. Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains,NIN,NYHC stuff and Mogwai, Massive Attack etc. - i love Johnny Cash too) but im pretty open to most types of music. As for films, anything that confuses/scares/annoys me - Fight Club is cool, The Descent, Battle Royale, Devils Rejects, 300 etc. I like films that get a reaction and are not predictable, it goes on and on.... Dont really have the time to read as much as i should but 1984 is awesome!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Its gotta be jumping out of a plane at 14,000ft. I cant even begin to describe the fear/fun of that.

Teach, Learn, Share

Anything you want to know about science (seen as i teach it), and im happy to share what i know about music and MMA.
