About Me

CURRENT MISSION To declare war on Mars but only on Wednesdays ABOUT ME OK IFunky fun loving and pretty care free, I enjoy having people around me all the time and love entertaining with a few drinks and hours of meaningless chat. Pretty much a gadget freak cause I hate doing things manually rest you'd have to ask
PHILOSOPHY Don't f*(k it up

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I Like hosting people and offer advice on places I have travelled or lived. Love showing people around if I have the time as it allows me to explore my own city again and see things I take for granted. So far I have mostly hosted but have enjoyed hosting all my guests. Work does make it a bit tricky at times to host as I travel a lot for work as well and am generally only free on weekends. Always had great experiences and really enjoy showing people around, or going to bars etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

BOOKS like Pratchet are Fab
Just about all music I always have tunes playing when I'm awake with Alexa being told to put on music as soon as I get up.

Love building large set Lego with all the working parts etc.

Not really big on movies but will watch the great directors and stars when they put something new out but prefer watching at home (where I can pause the show and go get some air etc) Sometimes watch a series marathon, but would rather be outside.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing things I've done include most ofthe cliched stuff like skydive, flying gliders, etc

Also get to see the most amazing sunsets and still appreciate them all.

Been to Petra and seen the sun set over the ruins that was cool.

Horse ride across Giza to the Pyramids

Driving across Cuba in a shitty rental

Snorkling in Nevis and seeing the hugest turtles I've ever seen.
