About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find a place of my own, so I can give back to the community!

ABOUT ME

Poop. Fisrt of all, I really don't like filling out forms about myself, aside from that, I can't stand still too long, I'm clinically addicted to being busy and having something to do. (No pressure though, I'm very good at entertaining myself if necessary :)). I wouldn't say I'm shy, But I prefer one to one conversations more than anything else. LOVE Music, but I guess most people do.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't Flake... Don't even think of flaking out. We all do it of course but flakage must be avoided like the plague! Say yes to pretty much anything.

Why the fuck am I still in London! There's a lot to see a lot to do!!
No more beer, crisps and frustration at my own recent stagnation! ARGGHHH!
I know this is a cliche but a rolling stone really does gather no moss.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am super new to Couch Surfing, so so far I have done nothing to help the CS community. However I've been squatting a while, and have used me and my friend's squats in the spirit of couch surfing, Hosting many a bro. There won't be any stats on this site to back me up on this.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been sleeping on people's couches a while, but not just couches, beaches, the back of cars and floors and once a toilet at the Granada Bus Station too.

I have had literally the highlight of my life in the US and Canada recently, A large part of this being thanks to couch surfing!

Interests

I am a super keen cyclist, I view my bike as my noble metallic steed, without it I would be a shell of a man.
Me and a good friend of mine went cycling to Morocco last year, which in itself was a life changing experience. I love travelling, I feel most at home when on the move, especially when taking photographs along the way. I love photography (www.flickr.com/photos/themanzomandisastersquadron), love intense chess games and living like a wild beast.
Love cycling, and love fixing up mine and other bikes too!
I love music, and love playing guitar,
