CURRENT MISSION

I don't have one and I think that's the way I like it!!!

ABOUT ME

I am a deep thinker who loves having interesting conversations/debates into the wee hours with intelligent people. Often I like to do this while drinking lots of beer in the pub. This can frequently result in me speaking a load of shit. This is ok. Sometimes I am serious and moody. Often I am frivolous and funny. I am a dreamer. Sometimes I am very quiet and content with my own thoughts. Other times I like the sound of my own voice too much. I am on the whole very laid back and friendly. I am also very honest and respectful. I am a creative wee soul who plays the guitar and likes to write. All in all I'm pretty smashing!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am currently wandering around the U.S and Canada and in need of a good home for a few days. I am house trained. On returning to the UK I fully intend to open my doors to like-minded vagabonds in need of place to lay their weary heads.

Interests

I love music but particularly literary singer/songwriter types. I also love films and books. I like nature and animals. I like tigers' paws and bears' ears.
