About Me

CURRENT MISSION

traveling the world working along the way, experiancing new people, places and getting into fun new sports, adventures and situations along the way

ABOUT ME

i am fun loving (to much for my own good sometimes), liberal, relaxed person. i like to drink, smoke, dance, love listening to music especialy all sorts. love to socialise and do crazy things that make me feel alive and even shit me up a bit, but i am also content with my own company and a pair of head phones or a good book. life is to short to worry about things. lifes to short for regrets and if it isnt working move on theres a world of stuff to make me smile.was called a camelion the other day, was not sure how to take it but i think im a real empathetic guy and can chill with all walks of life. i take a little while to open up and warm to people and realy start talking, guess that just means im not fake, like to listen and i dont like to offend the easily offended. if ur chilled, reealy open minded and like to party then frienship will flourish. :)

PHILOSOPHY

love life
love yourself
love others even when it is hard
be your own person
HAVE FUN JUMP IN!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i believe we live in world full of media scare tactics and general mistrust of people, couch surfing re-affirms my faith in strangers and the charity of mankind. Myself and other surfers connect people and places in a way not before possible. Its a cultural exchange impossible to obtain by staying in hotels or even hostels, i give a local twist to my surfers stay and hope for the same in return.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i have only hosted in greece, and very much enjoyed the company and culture from doing so i have also met alot of surfers through friends. the couple of times iv been hosted i could not have asked for a warmer reception and more of a stimulating encounter with my awsome hosts. i think it important but not essential to pay respects to a host by any means you have.

Interests

scuba diving, swimming, dancing, music, moshing, skanking, raving, talking, running, reading, surfing, films, skiing, drinking, climbing, caving, smoking, swinging, relaxing, adrenaline, the sun, friends, women, beaches new experiences. care alot about peoples freedoms and enjoy political, deep or conversations with many differant points of view where my views or beliefs are perhaps questioned. i like to argue but only to see others points and usualy in an impartial way as i am extremely liberal.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i have been to every continent on the planet bar the poles. dived and explored some incredible places, caves reefs and wrecks. lived in Mexico, Greece and Jordan, iv slept on a few beaches, up a few mountains up afew trees,and even under vehicles. iv responded to a brutal emergencie using my medical instructor training. and often seem to be in nations capitols with pennies in my pocket but thats all part of the fun and living for the moment.i keep a mental list of crazy things i must do before i die.

Teach, Learn, Share

i try to learn something every day. i think i give good advice. and appreciate recieving it. can teach 1st aid and scuba, and could build a reasonable house aswell
