CURRENT MISSION

To buy the ticket and take the ride...

ABOUT ME

I wasn't like every other kid, you know, who dreams about being an astronaut, I was always more interested in what bark was made out of on a tree. Richard Gere's a real hero of mine. Sting. Sting would be another person who's a hero. The music he's created over the years, I don't really listen to it, but the fact that he's making it, I respect that. I care desperately about what I do. Do I know what I'm doing today? No. But I'm here, and I'm gonna give it my best shot.

PHILOSOPHY

We are who we are because of the people we meet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Having been couchsurfing I understand the value of the experience and will hopefully be able to share that with other couchsurfers that come to the UK.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I went couchsurfing across the states in 2009 and it was awesome.

Interests

I love life. I love music. I love scaring myself once in a while. I love most sports especially basketball and I've just tried snowboarding which could easily become my next hobby. Most of all I love meeting new people and being on the move.
