About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To keep exploring

ABOUT ME

I was once told by a friend 'I hope you forever remain an enigma' and the compliment (well at least I took it as one) has stuck with me. I trust, to a fault and am typically up for anything on a moments notice if it does not conflict with other commitments. I forever want to be a student, while aspiring to teach and potentially pursue medicine. What I enjoy most is: traveling to new places, getting side tracked, writing down random tirades and meeting new people. I hope we get a chance to cross paths.

PHILOSOPHY

You regret the things you did not do far more then the things you do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When able to, I try to host people or meet up with fellow wanderers. When I head off to new cities I try to find a friend or two whom want to explore their own city and get to know somebody new. I hope I can be a positive ambassador in my own town when time permits it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed couches, although fewer than hosted; I prefer to host--not quite sure why. If pressed I would say 'probably because I do not like to impose upon others'. I digress and should give a proper answer about my CS experiences: meetings, events, tours, hosting and surfing; they have all made for wonderful life experiences, and I hope great friends.

Interests

I try to be as active as my body will let me be, this usually involves commuting on my bike to and from work, beach volleyball, badminton and any other sport that comes up in the summer and then replacing those with indoor activities in the winter until things start to ache too much and I am forced to take a few days to recover.

I am a great fan of reading and then sharing my knowledge with others as well as listening and learning from people around me.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am happy to delve into this topic in detail but feel that is best done over a glass to scotch.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have had, and I apologize for the crass language but, my ass has been saved by CS'ers before whilst traveling and I hope I can help, when possible, and failing that at least be a part of a great story.

Teach, Learn, Share

Those who are eager to share, and open to listen.
