About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy my life, have a job I enjoy, have great friends and meet new and interesting people

ABOUT ME

I love the outdoors, hiking or sitting watching animals do whatever they do for whatever reason! However, I also love movies, having a beers with mates, playing pool, watching sport, listening to live music, rock pools, reading almost anything, eating almost anything, travelling anywhere, learning languages, talking to people.... I'm honest and a loyal friend... like a few laughs... try to keep fit through boxing and kickboxing - trying at times!
Basically I try to be a kind, considerate person that enjoys life. I'm gay so would love to meet other gay courchsurfers.

PHILOSOPHY

I think that you should treat others like you would like to be treated. I love the saying "you can tell the measure of a man by the way they describe another'. I like honesty. I try to enjoy my life and like to make others laugh.
