CURRENT MISSION

I've dispensed with missions, having learned the hard way that things tend to find you if you stop looking for them.

ABOUT ME

Well, I'd like to thank my family for feeding me all those years, my friends for making me the person I am today, Sebastian my stylist, ChiChi my dog-walker, Mary my housecleaner - and Steve my personal ego enforcer.

PHILOSOPHY

I've gone from being an anal retentive to quite the opposite whilst growing up. Excuse the language, but my personal philosophy right now is "fuck it". Not in a destructive way, but if you're dithering on something then just get on with it - you're entertaining the idea so everything else is peripheral.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All brilliant so far. Excellent idea, excellent site - restored my faith in people.

Interests

What to say? I like classic cars (HotRods in particular), thrift-shop rummaging, music, vinyl, reading, sitting, standing, thinking, surviving, looking and listening and just taking it all in I guess. The thing I like most is thinking, about anything. I like to talk about religion, politics, music, travel, love and life.

Music, Movies, and Books

I play saxophone and guitar. I like old vinyl. Music-wise I will always give a tune a listen. Whether I like it or not remains to be seen. At the risk of sounding like a personal ad, I like The Kills, The Doors, The Rollings Stones, The Beatles, The Distillers, The Buzzcocks ... the list is never ending.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been in love, I've written a tune, I've been high and low, had it all and lost quite a bit, made some excellent decisions and some apalling ones, stuck fingers up and eaten humble pie.

Countries I’ve Visited
