Overview
About Me
Hello folks!!
having spent the last couple of years working abroad and travelling as much as possible; time to hit the books! Studying Politics, Philosophy and Economics in England, whenever possible though to take my bag and start seeing the world small steps at a time!
I would describe myself as active and adventurous. A great lover of the outdoors. Day to day I enjoy cycling and bouldering. For longer adventures I enjoy hiking, cycling and camping.
Currently I am on a cycle tour through Europe, following the river Rhine southward I’m Germany. Then I need to decide how to get to Northern Italy and into the Dolomites for some bouldering! Then finally cycling up to Budapest to meet my sister at Sziget festival!
Enjoy!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
What a way to meet people, not much more to it.
Always exciting meeting new people, get a new perspective to the game of life. Who knows who you might meet, what parties you might go too and what ideas might be shared with you.
If you ever just fancy a drink - why not... You never know what adventures that could be had!!

Music, Movies, and Books
My favourites?? Probably changes each day!
In the broadest of terms I like something funky and jazzy - from soul to techno. But it really depends, i wait and see to feel the music and in the right time and place I will find out then!
Films and documentaries
180 Degrees South to Catch Me if You Can
The Barkley Marathons (a crazy running race!)
Free solo
Black Mirror
I like it when a film has a good soundtrack and music!!
From The Alchemist to the Dan Brown books!
For philosophy phenomenology is particularly amazing me right now, I find it a very beautiful way to understand the worlds around and the interactions and relationships we have, create and maintain.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Managing to finish the London Marathon!
Teach, Learn, Share
I would love to learn a new language - my Spanish is not very good, only what I picked up when cycling there, but I’m open to be taught more!
I enjoy playing chess, amongst other games. so would gladly share a game! I find games a good way to create an environment of playfulness to relax the unknown boundaries we might have. When we play we relax into a more open and receptive mindset, the game might be paused and conversation takes all sorts of tangents and maybe the game isn’t continued, but that is fine. I like sharing conversation which take lots of different routes, the way it branches out into different directions and you forget where you started!
