CURRENT MISSION

See as much of the world as I can

ABOUT ME

I love to travel and am currently on a round the world bicycle tour. I've tried to travel as much as possible since I left university and enjoy the chance to meet new people and see new things.
At the moment I'm in the middle of my biggest trip yet and plan to be away from home for a year or more. I'm blogging about my experiences at www.ridinground.com.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I've lived in suitable places I've offered my couch for hosting and when travelling I've been keen to use CS as a way to meet locals.
