About Me

Nothing to much about myself, I am just the average quiet guy. Happy guy, talk about anything and I'm super clean and tidy. Love trying new things out and exploring new places.
I'm not a big drinker or party guy, but I don't mind the odd drink

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy using couchsurfing as a way to meet the local people and get a better understanding. Also, staying with locals is much more interesting staying in a local families' homes, isn't it? especially as solo travel can get lonely at certain times, so to have that local friend can really help!

Interests

I love to travel when I get the chance. It's the best freedom and life changing memories one can experience. I have done a fair bit of solo backpacking around South East Asia and the Middle East over the last few years and now the love of travel made me decided to cycle across Europe starting in May from London to Istanbul, and who knows, maybe further!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can take you around and show you my island. It's only 9-3 miles long (14-5 km), so it's a very small island, so it's great for a weekend trip.
At the moment, it's tricky to host people at the current moment but I do love meeting up with travellers, so please message me if you are planning on visiting Guernsey
