I'm always happy to explore new places and philosophise about all and sundry. Love board games and extreme sports. I often do yoga and spend most of my time reading philsophy and trying to apply it to the world we live in, as an attempt to work it out, sort of like a philosopher.

I've always been verbose, and in my dotage I'm trying to tone it down a bit. I have given up the hedonistic lifestyle - less inclined to be in pursuit of terpsichorean frivolity, but I still love to get down from time to time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Just for the sake of meeting people who can influence my journey. It's so nice when you meet another soul who’s on the same page. Sound a bit mawkish but to find a soulmate in a friend and or otherwise is one of the best things in life.

Hopefully I can help you along the way too.

Sorry to sound like a pleb.

I've hosted people from all over the world and I've surfed in some really interesting places - couchsurfing gives and insight that hotels and hostels just don't.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many movies to list, but my favourite of all time is Fletch.

Some music that's been with me on the long road, in order of appearance: Guns n Roses, Wishbone Ash, Huey Lewis and the News, Freddie Stevenson, Hey Negrita, Eric Bibb, John Martyn, Van Morrison, belle and Sebastian, jake Morley.

Recently been getting into classical music, just because I feel I should know more about it. I always liked it - just found it inaccessible. I'm still very much on the cannon. Ready to fire as it were.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I missed my stop after 28 hours on a trian in India, that was pretty fucking amazing

I've seen the grand canyon, it was ok

I've climbed up and walked a derelict part of the great wall of china

I saw a duck and a squirrel walking along together once...

I have busked for money in tibet :D

I have slept rough all over Europe and met many amazing people, I have seen the sun set on so many beautiful places

Almost ready to nestle down by a fire forever, but not just yet

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak Chinese proficiently. I'm a pretty mean cook was a chef by trade and I play the guitar rather ok-ly. I can teach you a bit about those.

I studied politics at university so no doubt I'll talk that at you...
