Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Travel, not be stuck in a office 24/7, meet like-minded people, understand global and local issues affecting the people I meet and talk (perhaps pointlessly, but talk) about the possibilities.
ABOUT ME
A adult tryna be a kid again. A kid who's discovering the joys of life by learning and listening.
PHILOSOPHY
Live life sans regrets. We only have one, let's try not to waste it.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I travel, (try to) meetup with people and share my stories of travelling, my dreams, my future, current events (or what I know), history, science (or the very little I know of it), politics etc. And from these gatherings, I hope to have learnt something and to have taught something too.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've spent one night in Cádiz (Easter 2013)
I spent a night in Barcelona, and the host (David Parada) visited me in London 2 years later! (Summer 2013; Summer 2015)
I spent a week in Bilbao (Summer 2013)
I've also hosted someone whilst in Salamanca (May-ish 2013)
I've been to various meeting in Barcelona, Madrid, Granada, Bilbao, London, Staines (haha), Amsterdam, Hong Kong. All pretty grand, can't wait to go to more!!
Interests
Watching TV shows and series like Family Guy, Sherlock (BBC series), The Big Bang Theory, Scrubs, Game of Thrones, Fargo, House of Cards (quite a full-on series, truth be told) ...
Lazing around, travelling, talking, having a cheeky beer

Music, Movies, and Books
Books by Haruki Murakami
Music... I have some bad tastes in music, but the more respectable groups I do listen to are Biffy Clyro, Feeder, Stereophonics. There's this rather curious Chinese metal band called Tang Chao who have some brilliant rock music.
Another random rap band I've listened to (a few times) is LMF (Lazymuthafukers) who used to rap about all sorts of interesting social issues.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Costa Rica - La Fortuna, Manuel Antonio
Indonesia - Mt Batur
Malaysia - Batu Caves, Penang
Vietnam - Nha Trang
Volunteering in Phnom Penh

Australia - Uluru, Kata Tjuta
USA - Golden Gate Bridge
Teach, Learn, Share
Erm... I think I'm still learning. But I'll try to teach the few things I know about life to those who'll listen.
I could otherwise teach you... how to make good beef stock for soup and stuff
What I Can Share with Hosts
A beer/alcoholic beverage, a chit chat.
