CURRENT MISSION

To help to save those who are unable to save themselves

ABOUT ME

UPDATE! I haven't been on here for a while. I've just moved to Bangkok. I have a new condo but it's fairly compact with limited space. Hence, I won't be able to host many people or for long periods of time. But as always I'll do my best to help. :)

Hi, I'm Kieron, and I'm not very scary... even with tattoos!

Couch Surfing... well, this is a first! i've just moved into a lovely apartment on the river in central London and it's just too nice not to share! I'm not a typically greedy person (unless it involves me eating your ice cream), so I thought it was only right to share it on the occasion with some fun loving people!

I'm very easy going and kind and I'm never happy unless I'm making someone else happy. I'm considerate to others and love meeting like-minded, friendly, funny and cool people.

People in my life have described me (using a Johari window) as: intelligent, knowledgable, calm, friendly, logical, independent, clever, helpful, observant, relaxed, witty, able, cheerful, dependable, reflective, self-assertive, trustworthy, accepting, caring, confident, giving, idealistic, organised, adaptable, kind, patient, proud, responsive...

My work as an IT professional/entrepreneur, is both technical and creative - if you want to know more (about that or anything else) then feel free to ask.

PHILOSOPHY

"Promise me you will not spend so much time treading water and trying to keep your head above the waves that you forget, truly forget, how much you have always loved to swim."

Tyler Knott Gregson

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd like to offer a great space to some lovely people in need of a place to stay.

Hosted quite a few surfers in December and have met some great people so far.

Interests

- Music (hip hop, soul, funk, chillout/ambient, Fat Freddy's Drop, Kool and the Gang, Notorious BIG etc)

- Comedy - Billy connolly, Bill Hicks, Eddie Izard, Chris Rock
- Interesting Technology/gadgets
- going to gigs, and music/cultural festivals/exhibitions

- Earning money (mostly IT and marketing specific)
- Spending money (that's what it's there for!)
