About Me

CURRENT MISSION

living and surviving in Germany

ABOUT ME

I like to think of myself as easy going, and I am most of the times. I love getting on my Mountain Bike and exploring new trails especially since I am not coming off it so often now! I have a passion for cooking and if you stay with me I hope we can share good food and wine together. I enjoy good company and good conversation but am also happy to simply sit and watch the world go by (but not all the time) . Yes, I am an opera singer, but not your average type, I use to be a builder, security guard, and Bar/Restaurant Manager among other things so I'm sure we will be able to find something to talk about.

PHILOSOPHY

I think I need a drink........life live to the full, respect others and our environment, learn from everybody, be open and accepting of other cultures, and remember there is always someone else worse off than me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well I have been lucky enough to host quite a few people this year, I've loved it. What's more, I tell every like minded person I meet about this great thing called "couch surfing"

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've enjoyed being hosted by many like minded people around the globe. Not sure if my parents are sick of finding new visitors on their door step or not?! Haven't complained yet. Also as I said above I've been luck enough to host as well.

Interests

plenty of sports and outdoors entertainment, music to listen to and music to play, live theatre, walking in the great outdoors and meeting people, I love cooking and entertaining, oh don't forget MOUNTAIN BIKING!!!

like the movies but who has time (although the recent plane trips have been good for that)but I like to read Bio's, SCI-FI, and adventure, action, drama's, currently reading Terry Pratchet's latest. Action movies, comedy and Sci-fi, not big on romance movies (only if I have too)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Number one at the moment: go to Ankor Wat, the history, the sites, people history, so sad and inspiring at the same time.
