About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Carpe Diem

ABOUT ME

I have recently been living in India where I was teaching English to Tibetan refugees in a charity school in the Himalayas. When I finish my travels I will be going to Greece to work as a windsurfing instructor for the summer season. In my spare time.. well, I am quite convined I have a serious addiction to football of which I play three times a week and follow the mighty Tottenham Hotspurs! I have recently sparked a passion in photography too which is a great way to spend any free time outdoors.

PHILOSOPHY

Keep busy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As you can see by my poor response rate, I have been idle for a couple of years from CS as I was finishing my finals at univeristy and since that finding a job! Now, I hope to return to the wonderful world of couch surfing to meet new interesting people and expand our horizons as a global community!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted a number of awesome guys and gals in Liverpool and have also surfed couches in Greece, Austria, Germany, Italy and France.

Interests

Windsurfing, football, movies, traveling, PHOTOGRAPHY, going out for drinks with friends. I love finding something that scares me and then doing it anyway..you can't describe that feeling of overcoming your fears.

Music, Movies, and Books

My general rule of thumb is: if it's good, I like it!

Music of choice: Roots Manuva, High Contrast, Ray Charles, Logistics, Tracy Chapman, Matisyahu, Muse, Rage Against the Machine, Blur, Chase and Status, Editors, Jamie T, The Roots, Fat Freddy's Drop, Hilltop Hoods, BB King, Jimmy Cliff... alt j,

I love the Sopranos and Breaking Bad... game of thrones (obviously)

Big fan of Tarentino and Guy Ritchie movies. Stuff with De Niro, Christopher Walken, Kevin Spacey and Mickey Rourke and Steve Buscemi are usually good!
