My philosophy and outlook on life has been influenced by such great minds as Alan Watts, Jim Carrey (seriously look up some of his talks) among many other great minds

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted =D
I've hosted: Americans, Australians, Germans, an Italian and Irish so far.

I've also gone to couchsurf events in Glasgow and Northampton. I've yet to get into the Dublin scene though.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've really enjoyed hosting, it has been a really positive experience.

I made most of my friends through couchsurfing when I lived in Northampton, England =)

Got shown around Katowice by a lovely host.

I'm also looking forward to Csurfin' :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On a really clear night out in the Irish countryside, I saw more stars than I ever remember seeing. I thought about this vid Nasa made about when they pointed the Hubble telescope at a blank patch of sky. Turns out it wasn't blank at all when they looked long enough you could see 1,000's of galaxy's way, way away. Blows my mind!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a great thrust for knowledge and as an engineer want to improve the environment we all live in. I have lots of energy and want to help others. There is nothing as rewarding.
