About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To have fun seeing as much of the world as i can before i am miserable and slaving the next 40 years of my life to a 'career'.

ABOUT ME

I am currently traveling the world. I have already graduated and before I get stuck into a working career and being the slave to the man for the next 40 years of my life I want to have one big crazy adventure that I will always remember for the rest of my life. I love seeing new places and meeting new people as I am very sociable and friendly person. So far I have travel Europe, completed a worked ski season and now with a round the world ticket in my hand I aim to experience life by backpacking USA, South Pacific Islands, New Zealand, Australia and South East Asia.

PHILOSOPHY

you only get one life, so why not enjoy yourself as much you can. travel the world, see new things, experience new experiences and meet interesting people by traveling round the world, and you might as well have a bloody good giggle about it while your doing it.

As the famous Shawnshank Redemption quote goes "get busy living? or get busy dying?"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love meeting new people and this website is a great way to do that. Unfortunately i never even heard about coachsurfing before I left to go traveling. When a fellow traveler told me about it I knew i had to get into this. As i am currently traveling I can only couchsurf but as soon as my journey around the world is over I will definitely put my sofa in my up to other traveler, as we are all in this together and need to spread the backpacking love.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None as of yet through this website but I have meet other travelers whilst staying in hostels who have very kindly offered me a couch to sleep on once i get to their home town. so far I have take up one offer and stayed on Hermosa Beach, L.A which was a great experience as I got to see how real people live their lives in California.

I love all kinds of music but not really a huge fan of R'n'B. My favorite band is Muse and I love live music. I have been to many gigs and festivals.

I am a huge film buff and i have too many favorite films to pick a all top favorite. but some of my best are:- Fight club, Man on Fire, Eternal sunshine for a spotless mind, Seven, Shawnshank Redemption, Anchorman...I could go on for ever, there are too many to mention them all.

I read many popular science book as I have a huge passion for science but I do enjoy a good novel here and there. the life of Pi is one of my favs
