CURRENT MISSION

To semi-boldly go where countless numbers have gone before

ABOUT ME

Instead of waiting till I was 40, I've conducted a pre-emptive strike against Mid-life crises', and so I quit my job and I'm doing some travelling.

Back home I enjoy sipping Gin and Tonic like any good gent should.

PHILOSOPHY

Mo' money mo' problems...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Having heard about Couch Surfing from other travellers, I want to experience it for myself before I get home, and then hope I can return the hospitality by hosting people in my home town, and showing them what I think is good about my city.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: I like a good mix of fiction and more challenging non fiction works. 1984 would be my all time favourite novel. Modern authors I like are David Peace and Cormac McCarthy.

Music: Varied, old stuff like Sabbath, Creedence, Doors; and 80's hardcorepunk like Black Flag, Minor Threat etc; and I guess a fair bit of indie too. A bit of a sprinkling of electronic, country, jazz (ish), drone and some other stuff.

Movies: Not much into horror films, but most other genres.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've just come back from a trip to the very Western part of Mongolia - going out Eagle hunting with Kazak nomadic families - something Marco Polo did about 800 years ago. It was -50, it was hard going (more the bus ride with 40 Mongolians than the riding up and down mountains) but really wild.
