About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel, learn and meet lots of lovely peeps-wiv plenty of sunshine on the way

ABOUT ME

i have been in england for the past few years and have been doing quite a bit of travelling around the homeland, living in a van and caravan. during the winter i do building work, or anything i can get my hands on. im pretty handy with me hands. Then the summer is taken up by travelling around england ireland scotland and wales doing festivals. i have been running my friends business for the past 2 years and been working for him for 6 years at the festivals. i love the travelling lifestyle, and being part of some amazing creative festivals is always inspiring. thats generally how my time is taken up, obviously with loads of little things in between. Generally i am a chilled compassionate guy who wont be taken for a fool........ it is hard to sum ya life up, but i had a go.....

PHILOSOPHY

you gotta be happy with what ya doin or there aint no point doin it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have only just joined the CS community. I have met/helped people on there travels in england and also been helped along my travels many a time. But a website that makes that easy for us.........that is proper job. i just wanna get amongst it now!!!!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have always met amazing people wherever i have travelled and many people have taken me under there wing. I think this is the best way to travel cos you really get to see the culture you are surrounded by, and the best parts about it. Being open with people and letting strangers into your life can create the most amazing experiences. couch surfing enables us to do this...... woop woop !!!!!
i met lots of people in australia whilst hitching, stayed on many couches. tanks matt, debroah, karen and the christian canadian couple (i forget there name).
My couch in england definately had a firm print of a body on it from all the peeps ive met along the way too.
its all about the give n take..... give n take..... give n take.
