About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to constantly have new experiences and try to enjoy them!!!!

ABOUT ME

I don't know...that depends too! I'm Scottish...can be serious or not at all serious, sociable or not...quiet or loud all depending on folk around me and state of mind...I am honest and open, open minded and trustworthy...always got loads of ideas etc in my head..and not enough time to do them...I am loyal and reliable and like the unexpected things in life...oh yeah, and I'm a vegetarian..if that's useful!

PHILOSOPHY

You've got to be in it...to be win it!
(but I don't play the lottery....I don't mean money stuff!) Every opportunity is worth a shot!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have hosted a few times and met up with folk for socialising...belong to a few groups...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only had a couple of official CS experiences...both hosting and surfing...but have slept on countless floors, corners, couches, ends of beds, coffins, trucks, hut floors etc...even shared a stable with a donkey one night in Peru in a Gold mining village full of rabid dogs! (so your place has got to be better than that!) ;o)

Interests

Things I'm into are...travelling, people, young people and kids, photography, badminton, reading, table tennis in the park, my bike, swimming, culture, world cinema, playing pool, chocolate, laughing....

Music, Movies, and Books

I like kind of depressing movies that are quite serious and usually make me cry! (not sure why)..I like books about India, South America, Afghanistan..and uplifting music..like reggae and stuff!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can't possibly just name one.......there are billions and I can't prioritise them...sorry!
I seem to have lived many different lives, full of strange and wonderful events :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to develop your own photos in black in white or how to do a lesson plan (maybe, but haven't done one for a while!), and how to save money on your travels and I'd like to learn about countries and cultures where I haven't been yet...and about tips for books, movies, shows, etc
