CURRENT MISSION

New to Alice Springs. Working part time and studying / mountain biking etc. the rest.

ABOUT ME

Work-shy UK fella in search of adventures (mostly) with a sense of purpose. Adventuring can be trying something new, meeting a new bunch if people, or the more typical outdoor sport stuff.

Keen sense of politics and social justice but happy not taking about it.

I remain convinced of peoples inherent generosity.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm working on this bit. Just trying to travel about the place with my eyes and ears open.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Keen to surf and meet people. Haven't been able to host since I left Bangkok, as my landlords haven't allowed it - which is a shame - nothing but good experiences before that.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well, nothing but good experiences so far. I've been hosted in Norway, Russia, and Mongolia. I've hosted some nice and interesting folks at my place in Bangkok (which sadly, I've now said goodbye to).

Interests

Adventures in the broadest sense. Outdoor stuff: skiing, climbing, caving, cycle touring. Travel. Environmentalism. Meeting quirky friendly folks.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Diving alone at night the vast inky blackness of the Blue Hole, Dahab, Egypt.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach Industrial Rope Acess (basically climbing in grotty industrial places) and medicine-related stuff from time to time. I can also chat about and do: diving, rock climbing, caving, mountain biking, bicycle maintenance.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Place to stay. Can lend you a decent mountain bike (XL size frame). My girlfriend also happy to lend hers (XS sized).
