CURRENT MISSION

To finish making a mandolin in time for my girlfriends birthday

ABOUT ME

What would my friends say about me? I think they would say that I'm far and away, without exception, the most wonderful person they have ever met, undoubtedly the most perfect human on earth, at once devestatingly handsome, cuttingly intelligent and skin tinglingly inspiring. And also quite tall. They may also add that I love to make things up.. ( except the tall thing.. I am tall )

PHILOSOPHY

We shape our own destinies.. up to a point..

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

New to it all.. raring to get started :)
p.s. I joined in 2007 and then forgot all about it until now..

Interests

What grabs my attention? Babies crying, people shouting, car alarms, car accidents, TV adverts, big scary animals.. oh and small scary animals too..

I spend my waking hours running an organic veg box scheme, playing tennis, surfing, learning to dance the lindy hop (1920 - 1940 swing dance ), eating..mmm, wild swimming, watching good films and TV occasionally, wishing there were more hours in the day.. oh and at the moment I'm making a mandolin for my girlfriend too..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The night sky.. in a really dark place.. where you can see the milky way clearly.. gets me every time.

Another thing I love, although I wouldn't call it quite awesome, is when someone almost trips over and then starts running to try to hide the fact.. that gets me too :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been growing vegetables for years now and am happy to take guests to the allotment if they so wish. Or a guitar lesson. Or a surf trip.

I'd like to learn Flamenco guitar..
