Spontaneous, adventurous, confident, funny, charming, honest and a little bit silly.

I want to enjoy life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting people. Hear interesting stories. Share laughs.

Interests

I enjoy travel, music, walks with friends on sunny days, meeting people with a story to tell, sailing, scuba diving, shared looks with strangers that need no further explanation, brunch, stopping my car to let people cross the road, roaring 20's music at a picnic, people that smile for no apparent reason, and a glass of chilled dry wine on a warm day.

Music, Movies, and Books

Slightly dirtier /harder side of dance music, rock, pop... I have plenty of cheese too. :)

Currently reading Shantaram - obligatory India consumption.

Love a good box-set. Films... Action and comedy mostly - occasionally something a bit higher-brow.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I left my career to get a yacht-master qualification and worked on yachts for a while.
I've done the Plymouth-Dakar challenge (£100 car from South England, through France, Spain, Morocco, Western Sahara, Mauritania, Senegal and The Gambia).
I've motorcycle-trekked from Da-Nang to the Chinese border of Vietnam. Along the garden route in South Africa and recently from Delhi to Goa.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always keen for a motorbike day trip to a cool beach or interesting place.
I own an Enfield.
I'll take you sailing if you can find a boat.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a comfortable one bed apartment with a/c and a communal pool between Patnem and Palolem beaches.
There is a sofa bed.
If you're just arriving in this relaxation zone and need to sort accommodation out, or just need somewhere to chill for a few days, then I may be able to help.
