About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel and learn!

ABOUT ME

I'm the lead singer of a UK Folk Punk Ska band
"Will Tun and the Wasters".... I love Irish Music!

I'm adventurous, open minded and creative... but contemplative and philosophical too! I have my moments of extroversion but I have an introverted-reflective side as well!

PHILOSOPHY

True happiness is shared

“I suppose the thing I’d most would have like to have known or be reassured about is that in the world is what counts more than talent, what counts more than energy or concentration or commitment or anything else is kindness. And the more in the world you encounter kindness, and cheerfulness (which is kind of its amiable uncle or aunt), just the better the world always is – and all the big words: virtue, justice, truth, are dwarfed by the greatness of kindness.”- Stephen Fry

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

There's so much tales to be woven, friends to be made and discoveries to uncover waiting for me out there...
I seek to enrich my life by seeing this big blue world and hearing the stories of it's people...

Interests

My hobbies include jogging whilst juggling, writing poetry, skate boarding, knitting, painting... and come summer, I am an avid festival goer...

I like talking politics, philosophy and activism... but I will never enforce my opinions on you...

... Oh and ofcourse, my greatest love of all: Music! What I live a breath for!
