About Me

I used to work in the office of an organic fruit and vegetable delivery company, but got tired of sitting at a desk all day and living in London. I'm now travelling through Europe, working in exchange for food and accommodation and in the process meeting really interesting people, learning some skills, trying to figure out exactly what I wanna do with my life and more than anything having fun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Coughsurfing seems like the perfect way to meet good, fun, like-minded people and to learn about the culture of the country that you're in from people who actually live there.

I reckon that staying in hostels or hotels and only going to the parts of town that you hear about in the tourism office is a watered down experience.

Interests

I love to cook (and eat), listen to and play music, watch films and spend time outdoors playing sports or just having a walk.
