CURRENT MISSION

To do cool stuff

ABOUT ME

I'm a very laid back guy with a blase attitude towards life. I can be cynical and sarcastic but also honest, a little funny and sometimes even helpful. I live my life the way I want to, without planning for the future. So far I'm doing just fine.

I like doing cool stuff, seeing beautiful stuff and learning interesting stuff. I also love how all encompassing the word 'stuff' is.

Some people say the glass is half empty, other people say the glass is half full. I say the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

PHILOSOPHY

Life's short. Don't sit around philosophising, get out there and have a good time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Having not really had a home for much of the last 8 years on the road, I've sadly not been able to host yet (or get verified), but I love the concept and want to give back as soon as I settle some place where people actually visit.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've slept on loads of couches, but not so many through couchsurfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sleeping under the stars in the middle of nowhere in Mongolia.

Teach, Learn, Share

I always prefer to regret doing something, rather than to regret not doing it.
