CURRENT MISSION

Live life to sieve life

ABOUT ME

Easy going, fun loving and very open minded. Love to travel on my own and with friends and with people I don't know. I love to meet new people and find out about people's experiences, stories and adventures as well as their backgrounds and interests. I'm gay but that definitely doesn't define me.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself...unless they're a dick

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have participated in Couchsurfing staying with hosts in Finland, Estonia, Lithuania and a couple of days on separate occasions in Quatar and Dubai in the Middle East. I've also hosted in Manchester :-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Myself and two friends stayed on couches in Finland, Estonia and Lithuania during a travelling stint through Finalnad and Eastern Europe. On the same trip a few months later (but with a different travelling companion) I stayed with a great couchsurfer in Doha, Qatar. I can honestly say I've never had a bad experience with any of our hosts and they have always been so welcoming! Each host has offered something different from the others, from nudity in Saunas all the way to folk singing and night skyline tours of their city.

Interests

I love food. I like to cook it, eat it, experiment with it and play with it. Particularly Thai (Tom Yum), Sushi and Italian.

I love playing sports - anything with a racket...so we're talking tennis, badminton, squash and table tennis. Also enjoy Snowboarding when I have the money.

I'm interested in a wide variety of music but I don't think I've found one genre which I absolutely love. I love particular songs and tracks rather than whole genres :-)

I love socialising - meeting people in any environment, whether that's at work, in the pub, at friend's houses. Anywhere!

Hitchiked 1500miles from Newcastle in the North East of England to Morocco, encountering 17 different lifts, a number of ups and downs and a relaxing three weeks in Morocco afterwards!
