CURRENT MISSION

To find a tea for every mood and occassion.

ABOUT ME

I like monkeys and making tunes and slender lorrises and eating too many tasty things which may or may not be in too much pastry and being too loud and thinking of things that are too fantastical to be real and laughing when I shouldn't and giving too many high fives and saying the same joke too many times and being too immature and forgetting things and going too far and shaking my head to make funny cheek noises and cooking up deliciousness and not making sentences that don't make much sense and are certainly not grammatical.

PHILOSOPHY

I would love to be a baby gibbon because I once saw one steal a bit of grass from another gibbon in a very cheeky way and looked like he enjoyed every moment of what he was doing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have had loads of people to stay with me in Manchester and have stayed with two people while cycling round europe.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Everyone that has come to stay with me here has been amazing in their own way. I have stayed at two other couch surfer's places, one near Strasbourg and one in Basel. All of my couch surfing experiences so far have been incredible. A lot of my friends are into couch surfing so I have met lovely people from all around the world through this site.

Interests

I am in two bands, a balkanish punky band called Krystal and the Pistols:

Music, Movies, and Books

I love blues, soul, regggae, hip hop, indie, jazz.. every type of music that I can connect to for the mood I am in at that moment. I think every kind of music has its place as long as the person that wrote it really meant what they where trying to put across. I love lots of films, in particular The Big Lebowski, The Science of Sleep and Withnail and I. Some of my favourite books are Catch 22, The God of Small Things, A Hundred Years of Solitude and The Kite Runner.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once stayed in tree houses deep in the jungle in Laos where you travel on a zip wire between tree houses and they rescue animals that live at the base camp so I got to fulfil a life ambition which is to have a monkey go through my hair looking for stuff. I also played with a baby bear, sat up late talking to amazing people while insects as big as my hand repeatedly hit my head, flew through the jungle canopy listening to the sound of gibbons at five in the morning and ate nothing but sticky rice and vegetables. Can anybody ask for any more?

Teach, Learn, Share

I would happily teach anyone to play guitar, any kind of drum, music production, digereedoo, any meal I know how to make, english, anything I know!
