About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Save save save and save some more so I can get started!

ABOUT ME

Im young and inexperienced at so much. I haven't left my home country in about 10 years and I really have to get out there and experience some of the world. So I'm getting some money together and I'm going on an adventure. I dont know how, when or where. But I'm just going.

Stress or worrying isn't in my vocabulary. Everything has worked out well for me so far, so why won't everything else?

I have strong views on most things so I love in-depth discussions and find its the best way to get at the truth of the matter. Anything from political debates to superman vs batman I'm there with a point to add.

The things people do and why they do them fascinate me. The more eccentric the better. Technology and space utterly astound me. If I ever get the chance to surf on anyone who works at NASA or CERN's couch I AM THERE!

Close friends, family and work colleagues say I would make a great police officer due to my "great diplomacy skills" and being an idealist probably strengthens the idea. The only confrontations I enjoy are intellectual.

Currently working in retail, purely for economical reasons. I have no idea what I actually want to do with my life. I only know that I want it to matter. Maybe some of you lovely people that let me stay on your couch can inspire me to become what I should?

All in all, I would say I AM.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a skeptic at heart but I'll hear whatever someone has to say.

Freedom is the greatest thing we have, so everyone can say or do what they want as long as it dosnt directly harm anyone else. We are all one.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't... yet!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Coming soon!

Interests

Ive been interested in Martial Arts ever since i was a little boy watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Ive tried out a few but have yet to find one that I can truly stick with.

I love Magic. Penn & Teller in your face style and Derren Brown's more cerebral take on mysticism. Its like they have the cheat codes to life. Mindblowing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a massive geek! Comics, video games and movies make up the majority of my free time and have extensively shaped my view on the world. Books not so much as I'm much more of a visceral person, but I don't totally reject them. As I get older I'm starting to appreciate them more.

Movies/tv: Home Alone, Pineapple Express, Se7en, Fight Club, Martial Arts flicks, South Park, Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The Walking Dead...

Comics: Spiderman will always be my favourite along with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles since they comprised my entire childhood. Since my teens I've developed a taste for most superhero comics, so I know a bit about all of them.

Video games: Mostly a PC gamer. Dark Souls and League of Legends are my favourites at the moment. But theres never a week that goes by where I won't play some old school SNES or Mega Drive(Genesis)or PS1 and 2 games.

Music depends entirely on my mood. At the moment im feeling Perfect Circle, Sia
