CURRENT MISSION

see, smell, taste, touch, listen and learn to all I can before I have to settle down and have a wife and children.

ABOUT ME

doesn't take things too seriously, eager for new sights, acquaintances etc.
i do voluntary work with a youth group called 'the woodcraft folk' part of the 'international falcon movement' enabled me to make friends when i was a youth, get outside, and has enabled me to do the voluntary work I am doing now in Indonesia.
I want to work in theater, but not currently doing so.

PHILOSOPHY

ooooh, my favorite quotes;
"People were created to be loved.
Things were created to be used.
The reason the world is in chaos is because things are being loved,
and people are being used."
"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace." Jimi Hendrix
"Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."
"It's not about the years in your life but the life in your years"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

to return the hospitality I have received around the world.
to see even more places, as cheaply as possible, which would not be possible without CS.

I am lucky to have already been to so many places around the world with my work on cruise ships.
the only CS experience I have had is when I went around northern and central Europe by train, and sleeper trains. and stayed at 3 peoples houses along the way.

Interests

I do a lot of camping in the summer, and just out doors type stuff. I take a large interest in politics (liberal/socialist). Finding interesting pubs, people and places. :-D

• theater
• pub crawls
• politics
• camping
• beaches

Music, Movies, and Books

hmmmm, folk music, classic rock, some jazz also depending on my mood.

films.... not action movies, they annoy me, I like anything where the story line takes priority.

books; nothing too romantic, prefer non-fiction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
