About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel and explore

ABOUT ME

I'm fun, friendly and sociable who enjoys travelling the world to new countries. I enjoy keeping fit and playing sports, in particular tennis, football and golf.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is far too short - enjoy it and don't pass up on opportunities to better yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have met many hosts in cities I have visited so far, eg Rome, Madrid, Cairo, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh. Though I don't wish to stay on someone's couch, I am more interested in meeting hosts for drinks/something to eat.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have met many people from cities I have visited around the world. Unable to host due to having housemates.

Interests

I play football and tennis once a week and golf whenever I can fit in the time. As I like to keep fit, I'm a regular visitor of the gym! I love travelling, especially to new places and have a keen interest in languages and IT.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy watching true-story movies, ie The Kings Speech, Troy, Braveheart, Gladiator, Robin Hood, in addition to action films, such as The Bourne Trilogy, Taken, Inglorious Basterds, Ocean's 11/12/13, Kill Bill 1 & 2. Also love slapstick comedy films, ie Burn After Reading, When Harry Met Sally, Ace Ventura. Re: books, I enjoy reading sports-related biographies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flying above the Valley Of The Kings at 1,000ft. Witnessing Chinese New Year with 300,000 other revellers in Hong Kong harbour. Being brave enough to get very close to huge tigers in Thailand!

I don't want to use this site for a 'free bed' but to meet up with people who may become long-time friends.
