I believe I'm quite impulsive - I'll book myself a week a week's holiday someplace (usually around Europe) with only half a month's notice.
I'm pretty easy-going and relaxed with a healthy sense of adventure and unhealthy sense of curiosity.

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This one's pretty simple:
To see the world!
To meet great people!
To share stories and culture!

Interests

Music is my great passion! It bends my emotions to it's will and can completely change my mood. I'm a fan of listening to and creating music (the creation part has, however, taken a back seat recently).

Also, I love sleeping, travelling, a bloody steak, a bottle of scotch and a loyal Doberman.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Now THAT's a hard one! It could be anything from piloting GROB Trainer aircraft or performing opera in front of thousands, to watching a shuttle launch from Cape Canaveral or viewing the total eclipse of the Sun from a yacht in the English Channel.
If I were to be pedantic, pretty-much everything is amazing while listening to the right music.
