About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world, learn about new cultures and meet interesting people ^.^

ABOUT ME

Where to start...

I was born and raised in England.
Studied Biology, Language and Psychology at collage.
Studied Psychology at the University of Portsmouth (Graduated in 2010 ^.^).

Who I am as a person. I love the outdoors and find solace when surrounded by nature. I think I'm pretty easy going and open minded. Always keen to help out wherever I can.

I love coffee! Not really sure what I would do without it!

I will try to turn my hand to anything and am always keen to learn new skills.

PHILOSOPHY

I am keen to explore the world and experience as much of it as I can.

Two contradictory quotes but I feel like they both sum up how important and yet ephemeral life is.

'What we do in life echoes in eternity' Russell Crowe
'All these moments will be lost in time like tears in rain' Rutger Hauer

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately due to my work I am unable to host and have very limited opportunities to travel.

When I do however I hope I can share my travelling experiences with others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been Surfing in Germany and it was one of the most memorable experiences to date! I met some awesome people, learned to put in a IV (though I would be pretty rusty now), went to the legendary Hofbräuhaus and watched a Ballet in München, chopped wood in Hamburg and ate a Kebab in Berlin.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books
I particularly like epic, fantasy and military sci-fi novels. I am also a fan of classic graphic novels and popular science texts.
Some of my favourites include: Player of Games, The Forever War, Enders Game, The Lord of the Rings, A Song of Ice and Fire, Shogun, V for Vendetta,The Watchmen, House of Leaves...

Music
I like almost any genre of music but have an affinity to heavier stuff though Jeff Buckley is my favourite artists.

Movies
Ten Films I really like (in no particular order): The Matrix, The Lord of The Rings (Trilogy), The Watchmen, 300, Princess Mononoke, Bladerunner, Fight Club, Pulp Fiction, Leon, Donnie Darko.
I am also partial to anime series, my two favourite being Cowboy Beebop & Neon Genesis Evangellion

Also love board games >.< the more complicated the better!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I celebrated my first birthday in Berlin on the 9/11/1988. I don't remember it but I hear there was some kind of party ^.^

Slept in a crop circle in Wiltshire (England) and had some weird dreams O.o

Rode a Yak in the Himalayas.

Teach, Learn, Share

I very much hope to learn lots about myself while travelling and therefore what I have to offer people.
I am always looking to learn new things and will throw myself at any challenge that comes my way.

I could always take you Geocaching ^.^
