About Me

Hi joyous couchsurfers!

I'm really sorry guys, I'm travelling Europe at the moment whilst I can because Brexit for me frustrated. We can't stand for this behavior guys! We have to stand up for what we believe in! One world mofo!

Have an amazing time in Wales though! Go swimming in Can Idwel ;)

Before requesting to stay I'd like to mention our operating system. If you are the type of person that likes to plan really far in advance then you might be better off booking a place to stay, we don't normally confirm a stay longer than a week before your stay date. As I'm sure you'll all agree, we will always prioritize our own activities, and so making commitments too far ahead of time obviously can be somewhat hindering. Just a heads up!

MY MISSION

Spread the joy of flow to anyone who's willing to listen.
Create an experience no one has ever seen before!
Spread as much enjoyment as is possible. Count how many smiles you can get from strangers in a day.
Master my Flow State so I can share with people how they can Hack their own Flow State!

ABOUT ME

Happy, easy going, highly curious and energetic person. Passionate thinker and a casual drinker.
I always carry my backpack with me, and a handful of unique flow toys for people to play with.
As a Trampoline and Gymnastics coach I love working with kids as well as pretending to be a Ninja, and a Jedi, otherwise known as, a Ninjedi!

PHILOSOPHY

Treat other people 20% better than you expect to be yourself, to account for statistical uncertainty.
I know nothing.......... Which means I have so much to learn from everyone..... I still manage to talk perpetual nonsense though!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people. I've found that every place we travel to is full of sights and wonders, but it is always the people that make a place an experience. The bigger the disconnect between the traveler and the local the less the point of the travelling.

I want to hear everyones stories, and I want my stories to be heard. There is few better places to really meet people than their Welcome Home.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I landed 3 back somersaults in a row on my 10th day ever Snowboarding on Snow. That was pretty intense.........

A Triple Back somersault.

Flew a plane through Fjordland national park in New Zealand.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love rational debate about any questions people are normally afraid of asking. There is always something to learn and teach with these questions.

I'm a big believer in the Flow Arts (pois, staff, and other such juggling/circus props), and the Meditative properties of Fire Dancing, and adore sharing this love with anyone who wants to play with something new!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A personalized Fire Show, just for you, in your back garden or the nearest park. And if you're keen, I can show you how to also play with fire. I travel most places with an arrangement of Fire Toys, if you take a particular fancy to one I can help you build your own customized toy, to show off on dance floors or at parties!

I've also been travelling for 3 years so I have a story or two under my belt if you enjoy the simpler pleasures of life.
