Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Trying to find my way in life. Right now I'd like to see as much of the world as possible as well as meet new people. Both have never failed to provide new inspiration in my experience.
PHILOSOPHY
I try to be as good a person as possible guided by reason, empathy and an open mind. I think the following Ralph Waldo Emerson quote sumarizes it nicely.
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm fairly new to all of this so I'm afraid I don't quite know how I'm going to contribute much. Right now I'm still finding my way.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
None, I'm a couchsurfing virgin.
Interests
Reading and writing, history, folklore, fantasy, sci-fi, animals and nature, ethics and morals, debating, humor and comedy, movies, sports, gaming, music(mostly rock), food (more eating than preparing, I'm afraid), I've probably forgotten some things still but this gives a fairly good impression.

Music, Movies, and Books
Oh dear, far far too much to list.
Books: mostly fantasy, I love Tolkien but also Terry Goodkind, George Martin, Juliet Marrilier, etc...but also classic such as Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Robert Luis Stevenson and so on.
Movies: Again far too much to list but including; The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Indiana Jones,...as well as tv series such as Stagate, NCIS and Bones, Comedy series such as Coupling, Blackadder and Monty Python and a love for Disney to boot.
Music: Mostly into Heavy Metal and Rock, my favourite bands are Blind Guardian, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Nightwish and HammerFall. But I can also enjoy folk music and if I'm in the mood a bit country like John Denver.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Very little I'm afraid. It is more or less why I joined this site in the first place.
Teach, Learn, Share
I know a lot of useless trivia if that interests anyone? I'm not that knowledgeable yet I'm afraid. I'm more of a learner than a teacher at this stage but if you wish to learn any info I might posses you can browse through my interest posted above.
