I'm a modern savage. I'm a searcher. Searching for the ride. The ultimate ride.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To escape the mundane.

To experience more.

To experience 'new'

To learn

To travel the world

To find myself (pretentiously cliché I know)

I'd also love to learn a language - Español

To test/push myself to and beyond my limits. something my rat race life doesn't do.

Interests

surfing
- I want to learn. Teach me?

music - I quite like heavy screamy stuff but have very varied taste (just can't handle techno)
life needs a soundtrack

drawing/ painting/ doodling
reading
guitar (trying and failing to play)

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC: Live music is the best

I grew up with George Benson, Al Green and Sade in one ear and Guns n' Roses and Pearl Jam in the other
I like to drive to "Late night love songs" and work out to metal
Iron Maiden showed me what live music was and 36 Crazyfists showed me that just because it's heavy doesn't mean it doesn't have a heart
I like to sleep to ocean and whale music
Cover songs done well are a favourite of mine as is musical comedy/comical music.
A good song is a good song, regardless of genre or who sings it. if it makes you feel something that's what it's about

MOVIES: Point Break, Empire Records, Blair Witch, Away We Go, Into the Wild, Lethal Weapon(s), The Wild, A Walk in the Woods, Gravity
[TV: LOST, Gilmore Girls, CSI, 24, The Mentalist, Criminal Minds, Numbers, NCIS (inout more american crime drama)]

BOOKS: Hunter S Thompson, Jack Kerouac, Tom Anderson (surf writer), Randy Blythe...
My "to read" grows exponentially

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Inter-railing around Europe with three of my best mates for a month from Amsterdam to Barcelona via Slovakia and Italy then on to Bunol for the Tomatina is a time I will forever look back on with fond memories.

[And a second: Giving blood]

Teach, Learn, Share

Life's a lesson you learn it when you're through
Life is ours we live it our way
If you don't make your own choices in life the world will make them for you
Vaya Con Dios

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!" HST

What I Can Share with Hosts

I want to learn. I want to better myself. I want to grow.
I love cooking (despite not being great). I'm a pretty mean potwasher though
