I don't think I'm really that different to anybody else. I'm a mostly happy chap, easy-going. My favourite things are the simple ones - going outside to drink a coffee and read a book, seeing people I love, and looking up at the clouds.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet some lovely people of course.

Music, Movies, and Books

I've often thought asking what stuff someone likes is too hard a question - what if I forget to mention that movie I once saw when I was 12 that I forgot the name of.. the land before time?? was that it? I don't know.
At the moment I like really numbing soundtrack music like Thomas Newman, Brian Eno, Yann Tiersen etc. I will always love the music of my parents - Supertramp, Neil Young, REM, Fleetwood Mac. And the best song of all time ever is in fact There She Goes by The La's.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once cycled to Budapest, from Liverpool. When I got there I decided to stay for 3 years.
