CURRENT MISSION

To build myself an eco-house. To travel (more sustainably), see the World, meet interesting people, discover new things

ABOUT ME

I'm pretty easy-going, love travelling, sport and exercise (especially yoga, hiking, cycling, running and football), going out, film and music. Most music, but particularly electronic (techno, drum and bass, dubstep), reggae and indie/rock.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything changes/nothing is permanent. It is what it is. Que sera, sera!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Whilst travelling in Latin America I used it to meet local people and stayed with a few folk too. I hosted a few people in Almaty and in Tbilisi too when I lived there, which has worked well, although it's difficult if I have to work long hours when guests are staying with me

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Generally good, as most people are pretty relaxed and really helpful. Hope to use it more...

Interests

The great outdoors (running, biking, hiking), watching sport especially football, and music. Meditation and yoga too.

Music, Movies, and Books

Foreign language films are my favourites and Shane Meadows.
I don't read a lot of books, but if I'm travelling I try to read books relevant to the place I'm travelling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

2 years travelling in Latin America was amazing! Too many things I did within that time but I'll pick out 3:-
- visited a prison in La Paz, Bolivia
- travelled from Panama to Colombia by boat staying on deserted islands, snorkelling and meeting the Kuna people
- Climbing over 6,000m in Bolivia

Teach, Learn, Share

Treat people as you yourself would like to be treated.
Try to give without any expectation of receiving anything in return.
Go with the flow.
Say yes, even when you may want to say no.
