About Me

* Now in Manchester, UK. Pondering my next move.

CURRENT MISSION

In November 2014 I sold all my stuff and headed off travelling! With my trusty laptop I've been exploring the cafes and beaches of Asia exploring the culture and making websites. I love it!

I would love to find somewhere my heart desires in Latin America or USA compatible timezone to set up a base there. All the figures say Mexico or Costa Rica but my heart still isn’t in it.

ABOUT ME

I'm a mix of buddhist (chilled, warm and friendly), entrepreneur (motivated and always doing a million things) and liberal polyamorous.

I'm very social, love meeting new people! I like to party but I also really appreciate a gentle night in with a tea and learning about someone else's world.

PHILOSOPHY

Liberal / Buddhist / Osho. The World is fun and awesome. Happiness is in the mind. Helping people grow and connect. Hugs. Going deeper in self-awareness, love, and friendship.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To find good company and swap news of far away lands / the city I'm in.

I've hosted a few people and now I'm looking to surf for the first time!

Come and stay. Invite me to yours. Meet up for a beer. Meet up for food. It is all good.

Interests

I've got a pretty varied and balanced lifestyle. Timothy Ferris is one of my major influences - so how to build up an online income while travelling. Science, social issues, fun, happiness, health. Marketing is definitely in there too - I suck at it but I love it. I’m an IT guy so that stuff too.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: anything I can dance to!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in New Zealand for five years - that place is the best. Worked for Serato, who make the software the World's top DJs use. Found an abandoned penthouse in Thailand and watched the New Year's fireworks from the best view in the city. Skydive. Went to Nowhere (the European Burning Man), helped my friends set up a small burn that they ran. Lived in Berlin for 3 years.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: technology, but don't like to talk technical all night. :) Solving problems. Business and marketing. Communication. Tantra. English. Travel advice.

Learn: sometimes the greatest lessons are in the simplest of things! I love learning more about cooking. I was vegan for six months of 2023 and it had an amazing effect on my body so I’d be happy to have someone to cook plant based food with.

Share: stories, company, smiles, hugs, massage, tea, fun plans for the future! Where would you live if you could live anywhere?
