About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Seeing everything in 2 years. The clock is ticking.

ABOUT ME

I am comfortable with just about everyone and if you have a good sense of humour and a love of food then we will get along fine. I travel around the world to get a taste of the food, because food is culture. Where a woodfired pizza in Namibia or yogurt and honey in Greece I want it all and I want to try any weird and wacky dish.

PHILOSOPHY

Wealth may not increase if it's divided, but happiness will!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Travelling and site seeing by day, chatting at a cafe/bar/kitchen bench by night; I wont sleep if there is something fun to do!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am fresh off the boat, but in the next year I want to become an expert!

Interests

You can't live in England and miss out out on the football fever so talk to me about footy, food, culture, history and arts. I also love a good joke.

  • arts
  • culture
  • dining
  • boating
  • traveling
  • hiking
  • soccer
  • olympics
  • emergency services

Music, Movies, and Books

I can watch anything; love international cinema.

I have a weakness for happy endings though.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. Hitchhiking on a police ute in Tonga late at night to go buy some Tongan brew, and meet the locals around a Kava bowl.
2. Hiking through the mountains of NZ and pretending I'm a serious hiker.
3. Being surrounded by friends in a fantastic art gallery and seeing work on the walls that I helped make.
4. Seeing the amazing sites of Greece
5. Witnessing the Olympics behind the scenes!
6. Watching the Miss Universe show in Croatia (very cool, very odd)

Teach, Learn, Share

People are a bit different; people from different countries, cultures, religions, upbringings. I wont learn unless I immerse myself in the different.
