About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Survive life, make some friends, travel and above all have some amazing fun.

ABOUT ME

In April 2017 I purged all my possessions packed a rucksack and left the UK to explore Africa and Europe.

Interests:
Soundsystem, photography, fire dancing (devilstick) , music, food, poota-ing, travailing, catching up with lost friends, meeting interesting people and erm food.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life for today, it can all change in a heart beat, or lack of one. Retirement comes around far to quickly, you can rest then!

Be humble and never judge a person by their appearance, you may well learn some life changing skills/ knowledge from them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have travelled to some amazing places, met some truly incredible people, who have shared food, accommodation and local knowledge. Without meeting those people my journey and experiences would not have been so spectacular.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have hosted a fair few people in some random places, have never been hosted (though couchsurfing), but have been given food and bed for the night in some stunning locations.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music....

Most of my social life is music related, gigs, clubs, bands, DJ's... and lots and lots of Soundsystem.

"I walk a mile for a funky beat" - Jungle Brothers.

I enjoy any style and type of music if it's played with passion.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In the summer of 2001 I saw a friend devilstick, it was mesmerising, so with patience i learnt to devilstick. A few years later i bought a firestick, eventually i found more devilstickers and fire preformers and learnt more tricks and skills.

Years later i arrive in Bristol and joined the Fireworks Collective, we were fortunate to be accepted to conclave at Burning Man and be a part of the big burn.

Teach, Learn, Share

The more you give the more you get. The more you learn the less you know

Being a student of life everyday is a school day, trading knowledge and skills is an important part of life and needs to be more readily accessible.

If i can help someone i will as so many people have helped me on my journey though life.
