About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To regularly do things that absolutely terrify me.

ABOUT ME

I'd rather jump out of a plane than go shopping.
I'd rather read a book that gives me a new perspective on life than an entertaining murder mystery.
I'd rather take big risks in pursuit of a dream than dream about taking big risks.
I'd rather lose out or fail than miss out on an opportunity to learn an important lesson.
I'd rather live my life in this exact moment than spend years waiting for the "right time".

PHILOSOPHY

"I should like to spend the whole of my life in traveling abroad, if I could anywhere borrow another life to spend afterwards at home."
- William Hazlitt

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meeting strangers and building friendships.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Before I even joined CS, I managed to bump into Surfers all around the world. They were always fun, hospitable and eager to show me a good time. I want to be able to provide that same welcoming experience to someone who visits my area of the world.

Interests

Sports (watching and playing), extreme activities, travelling, having good chats over a pint at a pub, dancing with friends at a club, philosophizing over life's big questions, Africa.
