CURRENT MISSION

If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there.

ABOUT ME

After leaving school I took off around the world for 15 months before moving to London, a city I adore. I still take every chance I get to explore new places, meet new people and try new things.

In short:
I live for family, friends and experiences.
I love laughing, singing, dancing, good food, sunshine, partying hard, feeling great... that sort of thing; I'm willing to bet we have a lot in common.

PHILOSOPHY

Live as if you were to die tomorrow, learn as if you were to live forever - Gandhi.

The mind is its own place and in itself, can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven -€“ John Milton, Paradise lost.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Come stay, meet me for a drink, share some wise words or tales of your adventures...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Still new to this, although I've slowly been building up my own network of travellers who have and always will be welcome over to stay in return for the kind hospitality they've shown me. All the same I'd to take it further and offer something back to the wider world. All the couchsurfers I've met whilst traveling have been lovely people.

Interests

My two biggest interests are the universe and the brain because they are immense. I also get involved with lots of sports...playboating, surfing, sailing, high diving.. in fact pretty much all water-sports, as well as swimming a lot, especially in big waves under the moon, and I love to dance - I will dance to ANYTHING. I also like being creative, you know... painting with gouache, street photography, writing whatever comes to mind. Other things I do from day to day include meditating, fire dancing, climbing trees, jumping off things, poker, research and looking for new things to try.
