CURRENT MISSION

'Clay lies still, but blood’s a rover;
Breath’s a ware that will not keep.
Up, lad: when the journey’s over
There’ll be time enough to sleep.'

Live up to this but also sleep a fair amount.

Currently traveling in a campervan across North America with my fantastic girlfriend, Poppy.

ABOUT ME

I'm 5'10. I have blond hair and blue eyes. I really don't know what to say about myself beyond that. I like what everyone likes, books, food, drink, the sun, snow, traveling, music, sleeping. If Voltaire's Candide was right when he saw a cynic and said 'What a genius that man is, nothing can please him!' I guess I'm an idiot because an awful lot of things put a smile on my face.
Also I've put a few literary quotes here off the top of my head because when other people have them on their profile I like it.

PHILOSOPHY

Generally don't be a dick I guess. Never really given my personal philosophy much thought. I just like to have fun with people who are.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfed a bit and hosted just once so far. Always looking to get more involved though.

Interests

I'm mainly interested in people. I like the things they do and say, and I like to see how other people live, or imagine how they did. As a result I like books, art, history and music but who doesn't? I like watching a movie or TV show from time to time as well, but nothing too serious.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like alot of different types of books, but for me they need to be literary and true to life. I also like alot of movies, but prefer them to be ridiculous, fun, and easy to watch. Musically I have a wide taste. Personal favourite genres are Jungle, Hip-Hop, Pop-Punk (its generally so lame and angsty but I love it I don't know why), Soul and Funk.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode a Minsk motorbike along the vietnamese coast which was pretty amazing. I've done alot of things I think were amazing, and I'm looking to do more. I've also seen alot of things I consider amazing, but I'm easily pleased - thick blizzard or a sunny day both count as up there. I'd like to see a 24 hour day in the arctic.

Teach, Learn, Share

I really dont have a wide variety of skills. I can juggle 3 things and I can skateboard, but I cant be doing any tricks no way.
