CURRENT MISSION

Live life to the full, work hard and play hard

ABOUT ME

The most important thing in my live is my friends and family. My second is my job, the reason i enjoy my job so much is the fact i'm self employed which give me complete responsibility over what I do. I run Bringing The Outside In, a Galley/Shop/Studio to showcase my landscape photography and an selection of handmade coastal inspired crafts. Photography is such an important thing in my life. I go no where without my camera. Being able to combine this love with travel is amazing. I find photography a great way to document life, travel and the space around me. As well as this i also manage and administrate the art Gallery next door on a freelance basis for the Holkham Estate.

This in turns means alot of work but i enjoy what i do so much that putting in the hours isn't a problem. When i'm not working i enjoy spending time with my girlfriend of nearly five years, live music, and the odd game of squash. I'm a very sociable person and enjoy being around good friends.
I currently live with parents while Sarah and I look for a house of our own.
I enjoying being close to the coast. Knowing the sea is only a short walk away is a pleasure and something i value a lot.

Being self employed give me a lot of freedom and the chance to take a month away from my business every January to do something i enjoy, Travel. This Jan I am returning to America for another month to revisit some place i love as well a see something new.
It goes like this New York, Boston, Portland ME, Washington, Atlanta, Portland OR, Seattl,. Chicago, Denver, Winter Park, and home via San Fran.

PHILOSOPHY

I never let an opportunity go by, which is why i now have so much responsibility, but life is for living and i want to experience as much as i can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This is all new to me, I'm currently unable to offer a couch while living with my parents but hopefully we will have a place of our own by the summer 08 when i can hopefully give back what i'm able to experience and share what i know about the local coastline in Norfolk.
If i'm about i'd happily catch up with anyone for a drink and show them the local area.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first experienced couch surfing while travelling the states. Have had nothing but great experiences, and have met plenty of cool, inspiring people along the way. Have also been had folk stay with me in North Norfolk.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies
I enjoy alot of comedy but don't get the chance to get to the cinema much. I watch alot more TV then films, Alot of America TV Sitcoms

Music
I have a very diverse collection of music. I always have an open ear for anything new. Pop, Rock, Indie, Folk, R&B. Any thing with a good beat.

Books
I'm a slow reader (may be that isn't the right wording, that make me sound dumb doesn't it) but can often be found with a Travel guide in my hands, books to me represent knowledge so I like to feel i can learn something new from them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

America has a huge draw for me, through traveling through 26 states i have had the chance to see some amazing sights. Waking up in a tent in many of the america National Parks is something i'll never forget. Opening the zip of the tent to watch the sun rise over Monument Valley whilst still in my sleep bag was amazing. Sky diving in Las Vegas.
