CURRENT MISSION

to study and do what i can to get where i want to be

ABOUT ME

Generally take a laid back approach to most things, but you know when you have to work you have to work, music has been a large part of me life for quite a few years and i cant really see it goin away any time soon...

I am currently a fabricator/welder working for a company that makes containers that house power generators.
Primarily i am a guitarist, but i try to branch out where and whenever possible, its always sweet to learn something new and/or different.
I would be a very open minded person who is fit to make informed decisions, aswell as music i am beginning to develop a passion for cooking and actually find it quite therapeutic to say the least (very much a bit of this bit of that sort of cook) who knows what ill end up with, but its always edible...and of course now I am actually training to cook...

PHILOSOPHY

im of the "...why not" ethos, & as of late "if you dont ask, you dont get"
i dont see why we cant take opportunities as they present themselves, some of the best moments are the ones that just seem to happen.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

participate in any way i can...why notat the moment all i have done is host, but i do have plans to eventually surf aswell

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Overall i have found Couchsurfing a very interesting experience and it has certainly helped me expand my horizons on several levels. Iv found that a vast majority of the people iv met have been genuinely nice, open and honest...what more could you ask for?
There has been alot of laughing, a degree of drinking, a fair bit of sleeping and even a little bit of crying

Interests

as it may have become apparent by now, my main interest is Music, but i do tend to delve into other areas. I enjoy learning/doing new tasks/things, which has led to some interesting jobs over the years.
I am an avid fan of MMA and currently train in BJJ/Submission Wrestling, i liken the grappling side of the sport to 'the most physically exhausting chess match youll ever have'
Of course i enjoy film and tv, but was never really into reading.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always willing to show a few chords on the guitar, or any other instrument i happen to have in my possession at the time.
I can teach how to make an origami cup...it actually works, also makes an effective makeshift ashtray if made out of foil...I know others aswell, ha
I have limited cooking knowledge, buts it's constantly growing
I also have a wealth of useless and irrelevant information, so who knows what quirky little facts one could pick up...
