Hi! My name's Adam Houlding and I'm venturing into the unknown. Currently, I am spending the winter in Albania.

My core skills include bar-tendering and cleaning - basically, I'm a lad who likes to keep himself busy. And whilst I cannot carry them with me, I have formal qualifications which I'd be glad to chat about.

I am always searching for adventure, especially if it involves awesome new people. For languages, I speak English and lousy French. My hobbies include literature, film analysis and distance trekking. Hardly an athlete but I certainly can walk the walk when required!

Overall, I hope to discover new ways of life while helping hosts to prolong my journey. I hope to stay in Albania for a while yet, but will eventually venture eastwards in the Balkans.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Some friends and acquaintances this was both a great way to meet people and, since I budget myself quite harshly, a cost-effective way to find a place to sleep. I have slept under the stars and in a petrol station, so a couch would be fantastic.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

I am a cinemaphile, I love reading literature and have a fascination with old classics of any of the above.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Quite a bit of walking and hitchhiking, but that chapter needs some working

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

An encyclopedic knowledge of cinema; anything about the country and its customs; a flurry of stories of my travels and, if curious, my life. It still has some going, but travelling is all about learning, isn't it.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

Food, cleaning and a firm drink (for those without fear), as well as a willingness to learn new things, no-matter what! I also enjoy writing, but showcasing is after that firm drink.
