Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To see and experience the world... and to have a bit of fun on the way
ABOUT ME
I like to think that i am a mature and sensible person, who is able to let loose and have a bit of fun, but can knuckle down and get a job done when the time comes.
I am a very active person, both physically and mentally. I like to learn and discover, whether discovery is exploring a new land, figuring out how a machine works or getting to understand a friend better.
Above all, i love the little things, the small moments that make something special
PHILOSOPHY
I belive you cant measure a life by material success, but by the weight of experience and enjoymet. You should reach the end of your time and be able to say "that was great fun... I want to do it again!!!"
There is no divine purpose to life, you have to create your own purpose. For me, it is to enjoy the precious little time i have, and to help others do the same.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Music, Movies, and Books
If i were to give you an extensive list, it would take days to read, and even longer to write! But in a nutshell...
Music, varies depending on my mood, from Russian Romantic composers,to hip hop to Heavy metal, acid jazz and folk.
Movies, again very much a mood thing, I love Dark comedies, the occasional action, something with a good twist and anything which questions and makes you think...
Books, very similar critereia to movies, and i love history books, keeping you informed.
Teach, Learn, Share
I have a great love of Sailing, and have a good understanding of most aspects of this sport from basic sailing to advanced racing tactics... And i am an instructor in this sport, and love to teach enthusiastic people.
I have a love of cooking and cuisine. I am profficient in Italian, Thai and international cooking, and would lve to teach people about these cuisines, but i also want to expand my own cooking horisons, anyone with any cooking knowledge i will be willing to learn from.
I have been told i have a bizzare knowledge of random, disconnedted facts which can sometimes come in handy... but most of the time its useless, but good for trivial pursuit!!!
I am willing to learn about pretty much anything. Even if its something that i disagree with (because then i am informed as to why i disagree with it). But really, if you have a special talent or knowledge of ANYTHING, tell me about it!
