About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to live life to the fullest

ABOUT ME

I've just started out on my travels, beginning in the UK (my birthplace, but havn't lived there since i was 2.5) Im 23, enjoy just having a great time and meeting lots of new people. Love spending time in the outdoors, And especially enjoy surfing. Speaking of surfing i am looking to surf in as many different spots around the world as possible on my travels and before i get to old and to sore to do so. Also i'm all in for making great friends and sharing experiences. I reckon im a pretty fun guy, and can make the most of most situations.

PHILOSOPHY

spend your life doing what you enjoy most, not what makes you the most money.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing was a new concept to me a few years back and our flat decided to welcome in a couple from Spain. Personally i think it is one of the best social networking "things" that can be participated in. Since then i have made some great friends though hosting couchsurfers, and as i travel, i hope to make many more.

Interests

My main interest is surfing. If i had the choice, i would live and breathe it. Unfortunatly not all of us are born with natural talent, and therefore cant be paid to surf. Outside of surfing, i enjoy snowboarding and pretty much any sports. Also i like to socialise with many different people (good job i joined couchsurfing eh?). The outdoors is a magic place, and i like to spend as much time out there as possible.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy a good comedy film, but dont really watch to many movies as im always on the move. Cant keep still for long enough. Music-wise, anything goes really. Although i do enjoy a good remix.
