About Me

CURRENT MISSION

see the world before I grow up

ABOUT ME

I work in a hospital. I try to keep busy living more and working less. Every time I get the opportunity I go overseas for as long as possible!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We've just moved into a big new house with a spare room and are keen to have some people come stay.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some impromptu couch surfing while travelling in Japan last year. We ate yakiniku (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakiniku) and went to a bunch of the best bars in town. It was awesome.

Interests

Travel (duh)

I love to have a beer with family and friends.

Music - listening, playing, going to gigs. I grew up listening to Bob Dylan, Neil Young and the Stones courtesy of my dad's music collection. More recently I've come to love hip hop and electro.

Music, Movies, and Books

Game of Thrones TV series! amazing.

I read lots of different stuff. Harry Potter in Spanish is my next mission.

Music is one of my favourite pastimes and I love lots of it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing to the top of Mt. Kinabalu in Borneo in the dark and freezing cold with 4 mates. It was miserable and so cold that we had to huddle together to stay warm. Then the sun came up and it was warm and beautiful.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like taking photos and can teach you about aperture, shutter speed and depth of field. I can teach you to play the guitar. I may be able to fix your computer.

I'm trying to learn Spanish at the moment and would love some extra tuition!
