CURRENT MISSION

Avoid 'real life'... and see the things I learnt about in school. Next on the list is to visit ALL the US states....

ABOUT ME

After 4 decades I still dont know what I want to do with my life, so Im just going to travel and see the places that I read about as a kid.I set off around the world in September 2010 and apart from nipping home for a few weeks Im still going. I really should grow up, go home, get a job and settle down, but I have itchy feet I think I may just avoid having to go home.....ever!!
I travelled from London to Sydney on a bloody bus, then New Zealand, Fiji, back to Oz for a 2 month road trip. Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam followed. Then Hong Kong and 5 weeks in China. I completed the circumnavigation of the globe by visiting USA and Canada before nipping home for ten weeks. Now, I am on my way around for a second time....but im doing it the other way.... There is obviously something a bit wonky in my head!!
I also try to Jump The World, on occasion....see...

PHILOSOPHY

Everything is life is an opportunity or a test.
Sieze every opportunity, pass every test.

Good things happen to nice people!

Lizards are actually Wizards........

Always take a shit BEFORE a shower not after!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I havent done much couchsurfing - just 3 stays in Oz last year, but they were good experiences. I want to do more, to learn a bit about places from the people who live there rather than just turning up and doing the touristy stuff.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A few stays in Oz. One, was brilliant - a good bloke and a cool dog. A second stay was good - a good host and a good group of people. A third stay lasted only one night - when 12 poeple turned up for 2 beds. The living room floor was full and we decided to give the other surfers some room. All in all good fun though.

Interests

Travelling - obviously. Listening in to other peoples conversations, especially on buses. Nights out, nights in. Sleeping. Beer, wine, food. Snowboarding, footy (soccer) Ice Hockey, cricket, F1, curling, running, soaking in the bath and watching TV or movies while I am in there. Cooking great british food...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Mt Bromo, was off limits, but we climbed a staircase that leads to the volcano crater and looked inside. We saw the lava and magma emerging from the bowels of the earth. It was just amazing.
