Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Leaving for my first RTW trip in late April, for up to a year away from the UK
ABOUT ME
I'm a novice traveller about to start an expedition around the world, starting in New Zealand in May 07 for 3 or 4 months (starting in Auckland and moving south to go snowboarding) - then going on to Australia and Thailand later this year.. I have paid off my university debts and saved and finally found something worthwhile to do with my time and money.
I have only been as far as Lanzarote from the UK so far so the journey will be very eye opening!
PHILOSOPHY
Respect others and they will respect you. Listen to music to relax and help you through the day. What goes around comes around, those sort of phrases hold pretty true to me. Be open minded to new things and experiences
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I heard of the project through word of mouth. I suggested that I would be up for posting shop adverts for places to lodge in return for meeting new people, and helping around the home of the home owners. Then someone said 'have you heard of couchsurfing?'. To that I replied 'no' and now here I am writing my profile enthusiastically.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
None apart from nights at friends houses all over the UK after fun nights out at bars and clubs!
Interests
Music nights out (especially hip hop, drum'n'bass, dub, funk, anything left of centre really). Sports enthusiast (cycling, Martial Arts and a key goal of my trip is a snowboarding expedition in New Zealand). Cooking - I'm no chef but I do very good Thai Green curry's, and anything involving pasta or potatoes! Going out and socialising / drinking. Nature and architecture, the outdoors! Computers (see job description), graphic design and good (not modern) art.
