About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Taking every day as it comes, living for the moment and wandering like a minstrel!

ABOUT ME

Hi! I've been told I'm kind and generous-who never wants to let anyone down-but honestly I hope and feel I'm outgoing enough to meet new people, try new and exciting things, and am able to offer something in return?! I'm 27 and from London (well, Surrey). As you may know, London gets a little hectic after a while, and so I decided to move and study at Bangor (the smallest city in the world!) yet one of the most beautiful places that never fails to delivery if one ventures into the breath-taking scenery of Snowdonia.
I've recently just graduated from the University of Wales Bangor with a Bachelor of Music (BMus) and Master of Music in composition (MMus)-looking and focusing my efforts on programmatic/film music. Music is a huge part of my life, and is something wonderful to be apart of. I hope to get to a stage with my music where I can create a living from it, although I'll never stop composing. So, if there's anyone out there that would like/ need some music written for either film/commission drop me a line.
Anyway, I hope and thrive on the thought of see as many parts of the world as possible and may even see and party to some of them with you!

Happy Surfing Guys!!

PHILOSOPHY

I wish the world to be a utopia, and with the help of this organisation-bring cultures and people together to make it so.... (a little ambitious I know, but with your help...)

Anyway, given the fact I been on this planet 27 years I feel its time to give something back and marvel at our planets glory!

There's no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing. (wilde)

Its better to believe in an uncertian something than an uncertian nothing! (Nietzsche)

Everyone's fortunate and unfortunate in achievement, don't feel you have to compare.

'It's all about spending time with the ones you value, living for the moment, and having a good laugh.'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A girl from Poland contacted me after noticing I had join the Couchsurfing group on facebook asking for a possible couch in London (as that is my home). At the time I was studying in Bangor (North Wales) and couldn't help but then my parents kindly offered to put her up.
Given the fact that I understand it can be daunting and scary for anyone travelling alone, I did my best to provide all travel info that would make her journey less daunting. As far as i'm aware her trip was a safe and happy one. We are yet to meet but talk almost every day :) and as a result have gained an awesome acquaintanceship :) (I hope she agrees :s)

Interests

Music is the probably my greatest interest and love of all. For the last 20 years all I can remember doing is either music this or music that!
Socializing with mates (AKA brus, bruskies) usually over games of pool, backgammon, chess, drinks etc. whenever we get the chance.
Travelling, Walking, camping, climbing, bouldering, sailing and archery although I ain't done for a few years are all thourghly enjoyable pass-times. I enjoy poker/cards (although can be a little reckless (stupidly aggressive!!)), golf (although once again can be a little reckless), cricket, snooker, squash pool and badminton
I've travelled around parts of Europe, but hope to see many other parts and extend that and visit Canada, New Zealand, India in the near future.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a great interest in a lot of things!

I like to consider myself a 'Jack of all trades' and so would love to try everything if the time permitted.
