CURRENT MISSION

To reach India by land. Set off from Londinium over two months ago and now in Tibet. The sub-text to this mission is of course to enjoy the world's cultures and the people that the contain.

ABOUT ME

Wow, havn't had to do something like this since applying for University. Obviously this is a little different though...

Travel is an integral part of my existence - hence my involvement in this project! With so much out there to experience and so many people to meet, the thought of staying at home forever is unfathomable. Don't get me wrong, home is a big part of me too - friends and family being the crux of that - but I can only stay still for so long.

When not on the road, I enjoy meeting up with mates, whether that be sunny days in parks, evenings in pubs, or totally random nights (a seventies roller disco in Vauxhall, London being a particularly enjoyable one!); I really enjoy sport, though have got out of the habit recently; am also a keen music-man - both listening to and playing my beloved guitar. Spend my quiter moments reading and writing.

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing overly complicated, simply to enjoy life and the company of others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Am fresh to this project, so at the moment my participation is simply me. Hopfully once I've surfed a few times, and offered my couch back home a few times also, I'll have a better idea.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet! Heard of this brilliant idea only a week ago through a Candian couple (hey guys if you happen to read this!) and well, here I am.

Book - Cloud Atlas. Highly recommended!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
