About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To keep travelling

ABOUT ME

We are a couple that have been together for over 10 years. We were both born and educated in England.

We started Couch Surfing when we were travelling in South East Asia, but have also surfed in Europe.

PHILOSOPHY

I always try and keep things in perspective because, let's face it, most the stuff we worry about is so insignificant it's mind-boggling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We're still newbies but we have had a few couchsurfing experiences - all of which have been fantastic.

Interests

I'd say we have quite broad interests ranging from books to trashy zombie films and everything in between.

  • books
  • movies
  • traveling
  • surfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:
I actually can't think of any movies I like at the moment. I will have to think of some...
Music:
Rob Dougan, Restiform Bodies, David Usher, Modest Mouse, The Kills, The Faint, Supersystem, The Rapture, Eels, M83, Buck 65, Sage Francis, Interpol, TV on the Radio, The Shocking Blue

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in China, met the queen, walked alone the Great Wall of China, climbed Mt. Kinabalu, nearly died on Tiger Leaping Gorge, taught English to Chinese kids in Jiaxing, graduated from university, travelled overland through SE Asia... more to come I'm sure...

Teach, Learn, Share

Try and not become one of those annoying 'guru' travellers that like to hand out 'good advice' regardless of whether the other person asked for it or not. If you think you know the meaning of life, the universe and everything inbetween, wait to be asked...
