About Me

UPDATE: I am back couchsurfing after a multi year hiatus to establish my business!

CURRENT MISSION

To change the world through my start up.

ABOUT ME

I am a fun loving guy who loves meeting new people and trying and new things even more so. I also run a start up based in London which is my passion and therefore means I am not able to travel as much as I have done in the past. Therefore, I work and play hard but unfortunately currently travel less frequently.

There is nothing better then having a good conversation, good food and a good laugh with interesting company.

I am a smily person (as my pictures will attest!), reasonably healthy and currently experimenting with different diets?

I am also a minimalist who has worked hard to have the least amount of possessions necessary to live.

There is more but I guess it is best to leave that for when we meet.

PHILOSOPHY

I have so many...

Yesterday is history
Tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift and thats why they call it the Present

Never give up, Never surrender

Vel Primus Vel Cum Primis (Be the best you can be)

Do on to others as you expect them to do on to you

...and many more

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travel extensively. When I am away from home I hope to meet up with like-minded couchsurfers and make acquaintances around the globe. When I am at home I am happy to show people around our fair city or just share a drink or a meal with someone. I am learning Spanish so any practice (with very patient speakers!) is welcome.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Everything from Hollywood to art house and fringe movies. But TBH I more frequently watch the mainstream ;-)

Some movies I have enjoyed

Princess Bride
The Prophet
Happy Gilmore
No country for old men
.. and of cause Star Wars

I enjoy musicals, theatre and dance but do not go often enough.

And books... Well I definitely do not read as much as I did when I was young. But some titles of interest include

The Colour of Magic (Terry Pratchett)
The Practice Effect
Hyperion
4 hour Work Week
Linchpin
The Checklist Manifesto

Music - I prefer to dance to RnB, raggaeton, house, garage or Motown in a club but I listen to most anything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
