About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Never Stop........ Keep Travelling no Matter What!!!

ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people and always up for seeing new cultures, at present I'm hooked on America..... Hate the politics but love the people, they are so hospitable and just love my accent!!!

I am friendly and just love to get people involved in what ever it is I'm doing, I have a great circle of friends and never get bored of adding to it!!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a giving person, when someone does something for me I always give back plus more........ I don't give to receive, but lets face it when your travelling on a budget the only time your going to give is when you receive right??? But my personal Philosophy is "Never Say Never" the world is to big and to beautiful for that.......

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well I see CouchSurfing.com as the ultimate Karma buster, you see if you give to fellow travellers then other travellers will give back to you.... Circle of Life, arhhhhhhh!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Of course we've all done it, surfed mates couches, but this is different, I mean I myself have only ever surfed a few strangers couches but so far my experience has been brilliant (so a big thank you goes out to those people who had to put up with me while I was travelling!!)

I love the fact that when people find out your from a completely different country they automatically wanna help you out, and to be honest they put me up better than some of my friends!!!

Interests

I love Ice Hockey, Football(Soccer!!!), after 3mths in Ohio I'm now in to College Football (Go BUCKS!!) a little but still love the Ruggers!! I love to travel and socialise, drink and have fun...

Though I have to admit there are still plenty of things out there I have yet to achieve! You know the saying To Many countries so Little Time

Music, Movies, and Books

Kite Runner by khaled husseini (Most exciting and colourful book I've ever read!!)

Usual Suspects (A stella cast and an amazing feat of directing by a then 23yr old Bryan Singer!!)

Red Hot Chili Peppers (All time favourite band, and Anthony Kiedis's autobiography is the most heartwrenching Bio of our generation!!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well I've been lucky my father was in the Army and travelling around with him in the 80's.

Then when I was 18 I decided to join the Army and study for my degree, by the time I was ready to leave the Army I had already served for 6mths in Iraq on the frontline with the 1st Battalion of the Parachute Regiment which really opened my eyes to the world around me and the fact that the world is in such a fragile state right now, so seeing as much of it as I can is a must.........

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I have lots of experience in relationships (family, partners etc...) as my own family is pretty *&%#ed up, plus I have a degree in Psychology so talking and listening to people has always been a strong point!! And if all else fails then I teach how to be a good traveller and making the most of your life living out of a backpack......
