CURRENT MISSION

To explore the sights, sounds and tastes of Italy as i have promised myself for so long

ABOUT ME

Have been described as 'floaty' as in gets on with everyone, doesn't let anything bother him and rolls with the punches. Simply put i love to laugh and will always have a smile on my face. Just try and take everything easy and not let anything stress or worry me.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that if you help or do something nice for someone they will pass it on, everyone has something valid to offer, and you can't beat a good double espresso.
favourite quote is one from Nathaniel Lee, a one time inmate of Bedlam - 'They called me mad, i called them mad, and damn them, they outvoted me.'
Unfortunately i'm one of those people that when travelling hates to turn up without a map and at least some idea of where to go, otherwise i feel like i have missed out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am looking to meet up and get advice about travelling round places with Italy, and meet new people and friends along the way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Currently meeting people for coffee and a chat - It's nice to know someone in the city you are sbout to visit is waiting to meet you.

Interests

My friend accosted me with the question 'Ben, you seem so calm about everything, but why on earth do you have this strange passion for ice hockey?'
Also can hold my own in a discussion about cricket with an Australian.
I love cooking, and am always willing to burn something new and exciting.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love 1960s music - especially The Doors, but also on occasion can be seen at Dubstep nights.
Stanley Kubrick tops my film list too.
