About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm here to replicate Columbus. If he'd have turned back, no-one would have blamed him, of course no-one would have remembered him either.

ABOUT ME

Life for me has only just begun. At one stage or another I have been all over this country from Ponteland to Perrenporth, and have ventured around Europe more times than Fed-Ex and currently I am more than satisfied with fate's designated path for me. Without question I aim for further accolades but I am under no illusion that happiness is the ultimate desire and that is almost only achieved with a serious blend of hard work and one hell of a 'playtime' scene with plenty of tear enducing laughter... I find LIFE like LOVE itself... To achieve the possible, you must attempt the impossible. To be the best you can be, you must dream of being more. Self-improvement is no bad thing and aspirations is what keeps us alive - I say keep the dreams alive with one eye on reality and one eye on your goal because if at the end of it, the dreams as you visioned are not entirely achieved, at least you will have enjoyed the ride and bettered yourself in the process. This at the end of it is called 'life'! Love it, live it, and believe it... it's this that keeps us alive!

PHILOSOPHY

If you can't be the best, or even first, then at least aim to be different.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the things you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm aiming to participate by allowing others to share and experience the world as we know it. Broaden horizons and enrich your souls. That has to be the medicine for life!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a newbie to this couchsurfing world compared to many people on here but I come armed with enthusiasm and positivity. Surfed and hosted a couple of times and it's a wonderful concept. With good integrity, respect and the joy of laughter, couchsurfing can be your very best friend.
