About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet people in Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Australia who will help me make the most of my upcoming holiday. Also happy to meet interesting people coming to London, especially anyone willing to host me in return!

ABOUT ME

I am an adventure seeking explorer who wants to go everywhere, meet everyone and experience everything. There is very little I won't try once. I am a vegetarian, enviromentalist, peace loving, socialising person with a strong interest in politics, music, literature, sport (especially football), and broadening my horizons. I am sadly still single, but enjoy the freedom that gives me at the moment. I have been through a transitional period of late and have come out the other side a much better person with a new daring outlook on life. If you're not convinced, try me...

PHILOSOPHY

Experience everything and make every second count if i can. I want to try everything once, meet everyone, and not miss out on anything life has to offer. And it amazes me that so many people approach life differently.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Definately looking for hosts for my upcoming trip to Australia via Japan and Hong Kong, but also happy to host anyone who might be looking for a floor in Camden Town, London.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Limited to date, but hopefully that will change soon. Met an American in Budapest who was Couchsurfing Europe and loving every second. He turned me onto it and I am committed now.

Interests

As I have said interested in many things especially politics, music, sport (football) travelling, languages etc. But have many more wide and varied interests. Try me, I have an opinion on most things.

  • literature
  • vegetarian
  • politics
  • traveling
  • socializing
  • music
  • sports
  • soccer
  • languages

Music, Movies, and Books

Yes to all three please. Most sorts of all. Especially enjoy indie and world music, comedy films, and classic books, as well as some non-fiction on things such as history and politics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a night on the roof of a hut in a Dogon Village on the plains in Mali, with the moon lighting up the plateau and more stars than you will ever see in the UK lighting up the sky. It was the most amazing situation to be in,and I lay awake for hours savouring being in this amazing place, seeing this amazing site, and being with this amazing person I shared that trip with. I have never been happier.

Teach, Learn, Share

People are amazing, but expect the unexpected, don't get complacent, and don't be surprised if the worst happens sometimes. Its worth the risk though, for all the good there is out there.

Musical theatre is all overrated nonsense.
