About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be consistent, follow through on your iplans and just see what happens

ABOUT ME

I'm a mongrel of no real fixed abode. I've travelled here and there, lived here and there, studied here and there and plan to be consistent.
If you want boring facts then I'm educated, have worked in the City, have toyed with a variety of careers, have never been married, have 0 children and like dogs. I'm very selfish (a single child), have red hair and like to sing in the shower. I don't eat meat and I'm prone to watching the Discovery Channel. My ideal evening is spent in my local bar with friends drinking wine, discussing life and listening to great music. I love to shop, have a wandering eye for anything sparkly and i'm told I have good taste. I'm happy to be alone or around people, but like any good house guest I know when to leave and I'm able to go it alone.

PHILOSOPHY

We are what we imagine oursleves to be; our demons, our faith, our interpretation of truth guide us, propel us and bequeath us unto this world as the wonderful individuals that we are.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I currently offer a wonderful CS opportunity in Gangneung Korea. I am also keen to couch surf, but i'm new to the whole project, so bare with me....

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Oooooh i've slept on many a couch, futon, floor, mat, hammock, inflatable bed, yo, etc; in my time, and all experiences have led me to believe that there is no bed more comfortable than your own. However, couch surfing (or crashing) has enabled some of the most memorable experiences to be had and I hope to have many successful CS opportunities ahead.
One important comment I would have is that clean linen has always been a plus and a cup of tea or coffee in the morning is also rather splendid.
