About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn Hindi for my next trip to Nepal.....there is some conveluted logic here I promise

ABOUT ME

So I thought with all this travelling I might`ve found myself and thus able to give a more updated and in depth view here but alas I am stuck.
Lets start at the begining. Born in Brighton and grew up there til it was time t start uni. So I fled the nest for a gap year....to south africa and then Nepal. The later was with a Gap year company...that shall reman unname. My love of th school in Nepal threw me back there at the first long holiday at uni. Fours later I start my second gap year. This time with a knowledge of CS. From US to SA I visited numerus countries and stayed with some excellent people. I shall now be starting back at Uni for some further studies.
IEveryone I met describes me in different ways and I guess that I must be a camelion. From shy to leader. I have been known as a most gregarious person who gets on with ayone to someone who is quiet and reserved. I guess itdepends on the situation you put me in.
If you come and stay with me I`ll be in my element so unless tired from studying I will probably be taking the lead. gregarious and highly motivated.
As I have learnt from fellow Couchsurfer I am true to my name...and not just a brand of cheap condoms in India. But enthausiastic...with gusto. Or as my football skill attest to....like a dog chasing a ball in the park.

PHILOSOPHY

Wow thats Deep!

I'm much more shallow, help others, be polite, smile!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So apparently noone messages maybes.
While at uni I was happy to host or show round but being conservative I put myself as a maybe.
Now travelling I see the world from the otherside. I have been surfing in most countries in my world tour....well where I was keen on th6e cultue.

When I start uni for the second time I will be again up for hosting but will put up yes this time.

Always happy to show people round when I am free. Will take some time to learn wheres where up in Manchester first.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well I have surfed all around the globe now and have met some incredible people along the way. I havent yet had a negative experiance yet. I have persuaded people I.ve met and stayed with to join and learnt many things. Out of all the amazing hosts I have stayed with two will really stand out more than the others. I hope that when I host I can be as good as them. Both entirely different one a young groupie and music technician living in a crowded house and keen to party and show me a good time. The other much more akin to me. A sporty academic with a very diligent and caring nature. Despite his world being upsidedown he was evoted to making my time in Delhi enjoyable.
