CURRENT MISSION

To broaden my mind, make friends, and take chances

ABOUT ME

Love banging seven-gram rocks, because that’s how I roll. I have one speed, I have one gear: Go! ... actually wait that's Charlie Sheen.

I am a happy and inquisitive Englander who loves meeting people from different countries, finding out about new places and their pasts, and discovering cultural eccentricities.

I have more than one gear.

PHILOSOPHY

'Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets' - Arthur Miller, who had a few.

and/or

'A gentleman is a man who can play the accordion but doesn't' - Anom (note: I cannot play the accordion)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couchsurfed for the first time last Autumn which was an incredible experience. I have been hosting in my flat (Farringdon) for a few months now and have met some awesome couchsurfers. I also like going along to the CS drink events here in London.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first and only couchsurfing adventure was an amazing two weeks soloing in the Deep South of the U.S. last year. I met some really amazing people - every single host was brilliant to me - and fell in love with the place. Even a pretty big car crash didn't spoil the trip!

Interests

Wide and varied range of music (there is something on my ipod for everyone!), going to see live music, watching and playing lots of sports, drinking with friends, meeting new people, drinking with new people, never wasting time off.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Foolishly putting my finger in the air when I was atop a mountain in Morocco during the biggest thunderstorm I have ever seen - we could literally feel the charge build up in our fingers and even heard buzzing! Obviously we ran back down the mountain pretty quickly!
