About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find out where all the good people are

ABOUT ME

Open minded, keen, enthusiastic and energetic. I have varied tastes, usually humble, sometimes arrogant, more introverted than extroverted but not shy and I'm fun to be around except when I occasionally burn myself out and resort to sarcasm to make people go away! (but this is once in a blue moon) Off the beaten track.

PHILOSOPHY

The future has every potential to be better than the past but its going to take the right people to make the effort at the right time

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm keen to host when I have the time

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I "crashed" on a bench outside a house party in Boston once and the kind folks brought me inside only to discover a turd in the laundry basket in the morning! (it wasnt me but they were suspicious of me for the rest of the day)

Interests

surfing, reading, eating cheese with really hot sauce. Astrophysics, poetry, video games, educating myself on almost any topic I can get my hands on, outdoor sports, keeping fit, getting wasted occasionally, changing my mind, lecturing people, forgetting things

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a voracious appetite for books and magazines, anything that will teach me something. Recently I have developed a taste for independent films, and others that are a little off the beaten track. Last book : The curious incident of the dog in the night time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The sight of waves crashing around you on a surf is very humbling - the power of nature.

Teach, Learn, Share

I`m a doctor - if you need to know how to heal I can teach you!! Note: I usually need a hospital at hand to show you my skills
