CURRENT MISSION Get out, see the world. Enjoy life before it flashes by. ABOUT ME I'm a friendly guy, a little shy at first but definately up for meeting new people and getting lost in new situations. I love trying new things, and am always eager to learn. I adore ethnic/cultural diversity, but I don't drink, do drugs, or watch football which many find strange! There are plenty of other things to do, so if anyone fancies meeting up, give a shout :o) I am now living and working in China, Tongzi county, Guizhou province... as an English teacher to middle school grade 1. PHILOSOPHY I try to be moderate in expectation, but extreme in conviction. Try almost anything once.
Interested in Adventure Sports
Interested in Art
Fluent in English
Learning Czech
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I would love to meet other CS'ers on my travels, not necessarily for a couch to sleep on, but it would be great to meet people for a chat or to wander around with. So, if you're in any of those locations and fancy meeting up, message me please! When I get back to the UK, it would be great to meet any travelling CS'ers and show you around. Would love to hear of your travels, and while I may not know London inside and out, I'd be happy to help :o)

We by Yevgeny Zamyatin. The Dispossesed by Ursula K LeGuin. Tractatus Logico Philosophicus by Ludwig Wittgenstein. I'm a book fiend. I always have a whole shelf to read and feel guilty every time I opt for a vid over one of them. Some of my favourites are; Ursula LeGuin Iain Banks Milan Kundera Terry Pratchett Lyall Watson (esp Supernature) Erich Von Daniken Robert Asprin (his early stuff) James Clavell's Shogun And pretty much anything to do with the martial arts or philosophy.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Getting my Masters. Skydive in Czech. A timed 8 second climb of a 10m vertical wall.
Teach, Learn, Share
Wittgenstein says, "The Limits of my language are the limits of my world." If you realise there is a box you are confined to, also realise there is no escaping this box. There is no sense trying to understand what is beyond, only what you already do, and possible may, encompass.

Reading philosophy, science fiction, fantasy, pretty much anything that comes in print! Mixed Martial Arts. Rock Climbing Parkour Travelling Badminton Cycling Gym
