CURRENT MISSION

To think of a mission

ABOUT ME

Always wanted to live and work in a country where English is not the native tongue. Didn't choose Estonia on purpose but got a job offer and didn't need to think twice about moving. My Estonian skills can be considered work in progress. Been here 10 years. Have a big list of places I want to go, and right now a lot of northern/eastern Europe is suddenly more accessible. Maybe I will see you out here soon!

PHILOSOPHY

If you worry too much about the future then you'll never enjoy the present.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Recommended to me by a friend here in Tartu. Surfed his couch for a few days when I moved over initially. Also done a little bit in Ukraine, Finland and Norway.

兴趣

SPORTS: playing football, rugby, cricket (not so much in Estonia!), squash, and doing distance running and keeping fit generally. Does Wii Sports count?! Watch most other sports.

MUSIC: Classical to Jazz to Rock and everything in between. Play the bassoon in an orchestra right now and bass guitar in a band. Also play clarinet and saxophone, and attempting the ukulele after a friend convinced me to try!

OUTDOORS: Absolutely love walking and camping and appreciating natural history.

TRAVELING: Essentially I go to as many places as I can and try to experience something a bit different if I can. Whether it's city breaks or backpacking solo, or a grand road trip with mates - I'll give it all a go!

音乐、电影和书籍

MOVIES: World cinema mainly (although the subtitle function on my DVD player broke which defeats this now!).

MUSIC: Most things like I said, but favourite bands include Muse, Radiohead, Oasis, Gomez, Kasabian, Franz Ferdinand, Stone Roses. Love jazz and funk - Herbie Hancock is great. Sibelius is my favourite "classical" composer.

BOOKS: Travel literature. Too much to mention really but "Red Dust" by Ma Jian, is really good. It has a really great quote - "The road measures life in distance. The further you travel, the longer you live".

TV: Peep Show has to get a mention too because it is THE funniest comedy ever!
